DORSA AHARI DORSA AHARI When did you first become interested in art? I’ve been interested in art since my early years of childhood. As my father is an architect and my mother constantly had a unique taste in interior design, I have always been exposed to unique shapes, designs, and colours. In some way, my father’s career path inspired me to either become an architect or be involved in some type of creative field, as I was always drawn to geometric shapes, clear cuts, and colours; it was the simpler formations that allowed me to give birth to extraordinary concepts and ideas. Art, in itself, was always embedded within me.
How did you get to where you are today in your practice? I believe that it came from a deep curiosity, though in the beginning I struggled with structuring and transferring my ideas and thoughts into a goal-oriented creative process. Throughout time, I gradually became more in tune with my intuition and began trusting myself, the feelings and experiences I gained from mistakes and influential events in my life. I somehow used art as a way of expressing my feelings and understanding myself on a deeper level; the more I explored variations of techniques and mediums, the more I found myself beginning to create my own style.
