VIDA SHAJIE REZAI
The artistic journey of Vida Shajie Rezai started in Elementary School where she studied Persian calligraphy and painted flowers on the borders of her homework.

Later in her early twenties, when bombs were exploding on the streets of Tehran during the Iran and Iraq war, she found peace and joy in studying art. Her first art teacher and inspiration was Iran’s famous portrait artist Abbas Katouzian. Vida also studied abstract art with Craig Antrim (Los Angeles) and water color with Michael Punke (Orange County) before meeting Rassouli in 2007.

She says, “I painted flowers and landscapes and copied my favorite masters such as Van Gough and Georgia O’Keef before I became a Fusionartist. My early work is a reflection of external forms. Rassouli taught me how to access a wondrous inner world of colors and forms. Under his guidance I became a “brush” in the invisible hand of a creative force. In Rassouli’s words this means learning how to get out of the way and let the creative impulse flow through me!”

These days, Vida’s canvases are a fusion of acrylic paint and Persian calligraphy of the poetry that she recalls and the music that she listens to while painting. She believes that each of her paintings is a snapshot of a moment of connection with the source of creation.
