Description
Hey there, everyone!
I'm Mohsen, the ultimate art enthusiast! Besides being an artist, I've also dabbled in art history and teaching. Oh, and did I mention that I'm a language wizard? I can fluently speak Persian, English, Italian, and Kurdish. Talk about a linguistic feast!
My life has been a whirlwind of adventure. I've studied and taught fine arts and art history in both the US and Italy. And guess what? I don't settle for one place to call home. I come from Iran, and I bounce between Canada and Italy, spreading my creative vibes wherever I go.
Living, studying, and teaching in different countries has been an eye-opening experience. Imagine soaking up diverse art, cultures, languages, and traditions like a sponge! It's transformed me into a real-world explorer, constantly pushing the boundaries of my cultural comfort zone. Now, I think and act differently, with a bigger heart and an open mind.
During my previous Workaway experiences, I developed an ongoing art project titled 'Art in Dialogue with Space and Hosts.' I created a series of paintings, drawings, and site-specific murals in collaboration with homeowners. Tailored to their unique spaces, these works merge contemporary art, interior design, and architecture, reflecting the personal stories, tastes, and aspirations of their hosts. If you’re interested in hosting and collaborating on a unique art project for your space, let’s connect!
You know what fuels my fire? Traveling and diving headfirst into new cultures, arts, languages, and lifestyles. There's just something magical about discovering unfamiliar places and meeting fascinating people. The world is my oyster, and I can't wait to crack it open!
But wait, there's more! I'm a lifelong learner and a generous sharer of experiences. That's why I travel and teach—I want to spread the joy of knowledge. And hey, I've got more tricks up my sleeve. I'm a health nut and a fitness junkie. Certified personal trainer? Check! Morning yoga sessions? Absolutely! Working out at least four days a week? You betcha!
Oh, and here's a secret: When I'm in the mood, I whip up some seriously tasty dishes in the kitchen. Let's make every moment count!Interests
