Ash Beheshti

From Ash Beheshti:

"My mixed media paintings are the windows to my mind where endless ideas are percolating to be realized and shared with the rest of the world. To me, painting is freedom. The possibilities are infinite. Living in a world run by norms, rules and regulations, I find no limits to what I can create when I stare at a blank canvas. What motivates me most is originality and uniqueness. When working on a piece, my focus is always on inventing ways to make it as distinctive and awe-inspiring to the viewer as possible. Hearing “I’ve never seen anything like this before” from an observer viewing my work for the first time is truly the best music to my ears. 

A Northern California native and an SFSU graduate, Ash Beheshti relocated to Los Angeles in the late 1990s to turn his passion for painting, fashion photography, film, music, travel and all things vintage into a successful career as a contemporary artist. After years of developing his artistic skills and experimenting with various techniques, it was his strong affinity to working in mixed media that ultimately shaped his unique style of original art. As a visual storyteller, Ash voices his stories through his figurative collages that celebrate the female form and portray women in a strong, positive and inspirational light. His signature style combines elements of realism with spiritual symbolism to transform his vision from conceptual ideas into thought-provoking creations on canvas. As a self-taught artist with over three decades of experience in interior design and fine arts, Ash has helped transform many residences and businesses into aesthetically unique and creative spaces. With his artwork residing in numerous regional and international collections, Ash strives to develop his skills as an artist on a daily basis and continues to create new works of art that engage and stimulate the viewers’ eyes as well as their minds.
