who we are
We, Negar and Gelareh, are two artist sisters from Tehran who have been passionate about art since childhood. Our shared interest in painting and historical Iranian art has led us down this path, and we are now professional artists in this field.
About Negar
I, Negar, hold a degree in Information Technology (IT) from Iran University of Science and Technology. I began my artistic journey in 2017 and have since participated in various projects. My specialties are hyperrealistic black pencil drawing and calligraphy. I am proficient in several scripts including Khatashy, vertical writing, Kufic mosaic, modern Kufic, and calligraphy. Using acrylic on canvas as well as charcoal and conté in black pencil style, I strive to showcase the beauty and antiquity of Iranian architecture and culture, which is the signature of our works.
I have been mentored by esteemed masters: Master Malekzadeh, Master Farimani, Master Naqashian, and Master Khorasani.
About Gelareh
Gelareh, my older sister, has also been passionate about art since childhood and found her path in painting and architecture. She holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in architecture from Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran and has been working professionally in this field since 2001. My sister specializes in designing and executing luxurious and prestigious buildings for various purposes, including residential, commercial, villas, and interior architecture. Her work can be seen on her specialized website.
