Shara Banisadr (born 1953) was raised in Tehran-Iran into an artistic family of art collectors, musicians, painters, poets, and writers. Banisadr has stated, "My work is not about mental abstraction or my reaction to the outside world, but about poetic imagination of soul. I believe in what Ken Wilber, the brilliant philosopher, wrote in his book, 'Marriage of Sense & Soul'. Soul art is not metaphoric or allegorical, it is a direct depiction of the direct experience of the subtle level... it is not a painting of sensory objects seen with the eye of flesh, and it is not a painting of conceptual objects seen with the eye of mind, it is a painting of subtle objects seen with the eye of contemplation. That means that artist and critic and viewer a-like must be alive to that higher domain in order to participate in this art."
Banisadr is a multi-disciplined experimental painter with a studio in Kensington, Maryland. She exhibits nationally and internationally. Her primary interest is in mixed media abstract painting. She teaches mixed media painting at the School of Art+ Design and the Guy Mason Art Center. To learn more, visit: Red Studio.
