Sedighe Shahverdi

I was born in Iran, the land of art and literature. I have loved painting for as long as I can remember.

In my childhood drawings, I used to drown in imagination and depicted playful and strange creatures with a lot of details. Under the sunlight, which kindly shines on the beautiful flowers, I would watch carefully and drew for hours.

Stories about nature, animals, folk tales and fictional characters are often illustrated in my artworks. My source of inspiration have been nature, literature and famous artists. For the past 25 years, painting and illustration have been my main occupation. I have illustrated ten children's books in Iran and Sweden.
