Shirin K Yamolky, a self-taught artist with an innate passion for creativity, discovered the world of art at the tender age of 5. Initially drawn to sketching, the journey into the realm of painting began in her 30s, marking a transformative period of artistic exploration.
Favoring oil as a primary medium, Shirin finds profound joy and expression in the rich textures and vibrant hues it offers. The artist's chosen canvases include cotton, wood panels, and linen, each meticulously prepared to provide the perfect foundation for her creations.
Shirin's artistic oeuvre is a testament to her love for wildlife, with paintings that capture the essence of nature's beauty and intricacies. The canvas becomes a vibrant ecosystem, alive with the spirits of the wild. In a recent artistic venture, Shirin has ventured into the realm of origami-inspired creations, adding a new dimension to her portfolio. This reflective journey into origami infuses a unique blend of precision and fluidity into her work, showcasing a versatile and evolving artistic spirit. From wildlife wonders to origami-infused marvels, Shirin's art narrates stories of passion, exploration, and a deep connection to the world around us.
Shirin has some of her artwork featured at the Okotoks Art Gallery.
