About Samira

 San Diego-based Artist, Samira Rostamabadi, calls upon her Persian roots in creating her artwork. Like a mirage in the desert,
giving hints of reality, Samira explores the intricacies of both surreal and abstract art. These works give the
viewer enough information to complete a story or idea in their mind.

Another style Samira has mastered is with her characters—child and doll-like, whimsical in their design. Always facing forward, they
often stare back at us, seeming to observe us from their world as if we were the ones on display. Most of her characters are female,
from every ethnic group and various periods.

Samira has an excellent eye for color. The magic happens in the placement of each color in the scene. It is as if the
paintings were balancing on their centers, and the arrangement of colors prevented them from tipping too far either way.
There is comfort and visual harmony in her work.
