Masha Soroudi is an Iranian artist born in the capital of Iran,Tehran. Born in 1981, right after the Islamic Revolution, this gave Masha the opportunity to travel depending on the feels in the revolution, this lasted til she finally settled in Southern California.
The way Masha captures natures beautiful and peaceful moments gives off a comforting and relaxing vibe. The story behind the art makes it all come together. Her art shows nature’s growth, fun colors, and smooth textures that give a sense of calmness.
Masha being an immigrant and being far from home can like others leave her with identity issues. Leaving her homeland left an emptiness in her heart. Her plants can relate to her little did you know. They can relate not being able to grow and how frustrating it can be or having improper nourishment but ending up moving on. Many have struggles just like these and it’s good to have someone in this case something to be there for us.
I like when artist make their art personal to themselves, she can relate herself to a plant and she take pictures of plants of how beautiful their growth is and the details that go with it. Masha has to has a purpose when taking the pictures and she does she takes pictures that mean something their to her, nature, beauty. The coolest part is when it’s all three but sometimes she takes pictures of when it’s not the best times either which makes it more relate able to people.
