Sepi Borhani

Artist member since 2021
Pro
Richmond Hill, Ontario

Sepi is a self-taught artist based in Toronto, Ontario with a background in Engineering; however, her lifelong passion for drawing and painting led her to make the bold decision to transition to a career in art.

Her artwork focuses on portraying women and celebrating their femininity, strength, emotions, and moods. She draws inspiration from diverse sources such as literature, music, and personal experiences to communicate the complexity of the human mind. Her paintings depict highly charismatic women with serious expressions, often positioned within abstract landscapes, reflecting the depth and complexity of their inner lives.

Her work explores the connection between the heart and mind, and the feelings of love and belonging that heal the soul. Each painting reflects a particular period of her life and the emotions that accompany it.

Using a variety of media such as acrylic, ink, charcoal, and occasionally metal leaf, Sepi's recent paintings reflect a balance between realism and abstract elements.

Sepi hopes that viewers will perceive the energy that animates her figures and feel a connection to the range of emotions and perspectives that resonate with their own experiences.
