About Mandana Khonsari

 
 
  • Biography
    Although I have painted all my life, I was not until 2000 that I decided to forego a career in banking and pursue my art full time. A new century, a new passion.
    My inspiration comes from the textural qualities of landscape. By varying strokes and layering colours in an emotive fashion, I try to capture the unique transparency , depth and moods of the places I portray.
    In addition to semi-abstract landscapes, I create etchings based on a variety of subjects. 
    My art is also shaped by the richness of my Persian culture background.
