VOAF 2025

She works as an illustrator, drawing on the knowledge and experience she has gained over the years to create her art. Based in Vancouver, Canada, she draws inspiration from the city's beautiful natural surroundings. She also incorporates elements from her native Tehran, Iran, and the rich cultural heritage of ancient Persia into some of her works. Raised in an art-loving family, she studied graphic design for her bachelor's degree and pursued a master's in illustration. She has worked in the animation and film industry as a background designer and matte painter for many years. Since moving to Canada, she has worked on notable films for Netflix. However, throughout her career in animation and film, Illustration has remained her safe space for expressing her emotions and feelings. Themes of womanhood and portraying women's emotions are among her favorite subjects. She is passionate about nature and animals, especially cats 🙂 . Most of her work is executed using digital painting techniques, with prints on canvas and occasionally mixed media techniques. She sometimes dabbles in sculpture using paper-mâché to bring her character designs to life or prints her works on clothing and accessories to make her art more accessible in everyday life. She also designs macramé wall hangings with a strong understanding of composition and color, which are part of her decorative work. One of the most significant artistic events for her in Vancouver was participating in the North Van Art Group Exhibition, where her piece "Blind Girl" caught the attention of the jury. Her work was featured on posters, banners, and websites as promotional material for the exhibition, a notable artistic honor for her. Recently, she established her brand, Homaay Harmony, to offer all her artwork in a cohesive format. To purchase her works, you can visit HomaayHarmony's website, her Instagram page, Etsy, or NFT platforms for digital versions. She eagerly looks forward to her art finding a place in the homes of art enthusiasts.
