Sanaz Moori-Bakhtiari is a versatile artist based in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. They began their artistic journey as a teenager, quickly discovering a passion for visual expression. Over the years, they have honed their skills in pencil drawing, painting, woodworking, and portraiture, creating a diverse portfolio that showcases a deep appreciation for detail and craftsmanship.

“My approach to art is deeply rooted in observation and connection. Whether I’m drawing a portrait, painting a landscape, or crafting a piece of woodworking, I start by immersing myself in the subject. I focus on the nuances that make each subject unique—the play of light and shadow, the intricate textures, and the emotions conveyed through form. By combining traditional techniques with a personal touch, I strive to create works that not only capture the essence of the subject but also evoke a deeper emotional response in the viewer. My goal is to bridge the gap between the familiar and the extraordinary, allowing each piece to tell its own story.”
