From Un Grito Gallery:
“Statement:
Un Grito Gallery is pleased to present “Stories of Depth and Emotion” by Mitra Mazinani. This solo exhibition will open Thursday, June 6th and Friday, June 7th, 2024, from 7-10 pm with a closing reception held on June 20th, 2024.
Artist Statement: ”I was born in Iran, where my love for art began at a young age. As a child, I thought pencils were for drawing, before I discovered they were for writing. Creating art brought me tremendous joy and was my ultimate passion and pastime – drawing, painting, and experimenting with different media to capture my artistic visions.
I studied animal science in school and pursued a PhD, as art was never encouraged as a practical career path by my family or society. Yet my dedication never wavered. I actively sought out non-academic private art classes to hone my skills.
In 2019, I immigrated to the United States. After some time spent working high-ranking research jobs, I settled in San Antonio. I now work as a biological scientist. But every day when my work is done, I start drawing – scientist by day, artist by night!
I am thrilled to proudly identify as an artist and share my visions to connect with appreciative eyes.””
