Sepideh Hariri
Artist Statement
Mixed Media Artist
Persian-American mixed-media artist Sepi Hariri has had a profound interest in art since childhood. In her forties, this interest turned into a fiery passion and full-time commitment. Much of her work is inspired and influenced by European art, culture, and nature. From the streets of Florence to the views atop the mountains of the Iberian Peninsula, she has experienced vivid inspiration that continually fuels her creativity and motivates her to take on unique and challenging projects.
Not only have her travels allowed her to experience beautiful and inspirational cultures, she has also been fortunate enough to study under the guidance of some of the finest artists in the world. She has studied and worked throughout Spain, Italy, Portugal, and the United States learning a vast array of styles and techniques that she uses to create truly original pieces.
As a lifelong learner, Sepi continually improves upon her artistic practice by learning new styles and techniques. The particular technique she is most passionate about is sculpting. Sepi has been sculpting figures, monuments, and abstract pieces for over two decades.She has changed her sculpting emphasis from life-size sculptures and anatomy to more abstract, surreal pieces.
