Atousa Foroohary was born in 1973 in the capital city of Iran, Tehran. At a very young age, she started to learn fundamental courses of drawing and from the age of ten onwards, she studied with several art teachers to enrich her knowledge about art, its history and different styles of painting. At age of 18, Foroohary found out herself an art lover and one who needs to know more so joined art school to study art voraciously in various branches and began to painting professionally. Meanwhile studying she joined various juried, group and solo exhibitions, which in some scored the prize of best artist and her paintings were scored best articles. During this time her painting was focused on figurative and portrait works, historical places, landscapes and still life. After immigrating to Canada in 2002, Foroohary was deeply impressed by magical Canadian landscapes and her artistic goal focused on creating works that are true to life, depicting an unspoiled world that is filled with energy and wonder, so her canvas exploded from outdoors perspective, rooted in Realism. In the face of frantic technological advancement and the ever-escalating complexities of modern life, Atousa Foroohary gives her audience respite in virgin forests capes, quiet streams, park-like settings, and affectionate portraiture. Eschewing cold abstraction and high concept in favor of realistic and natural representation of people, places and objects, Foroohary reminds viewers that unparalleled beauty is abundantly. Though she clearly favors realism, Foroohary work is fluid in its stylistic boundaries, permitting exploration beyond detail-for-de-tail replication. Encompassing a spectrum of expression ranging from photographic accuracy to impressionistic and symbolistic work, it is Foroohary’s consistent use of natural color that unifies her painting. Resulting images are delightful, capable of transporting the viewer into the pristine and majestic world her brush skillfully depicts, a world inspired by untouched beauty of Canadian outdoors. In the philosophical vein of Monet, Foroohary believes color can be used to draw forth the essence of a character or scene, radically enhancing one’s appreciation of illusionistic space. Using what she calls “miracle of color” to communicate the ineffable, Foroohary’s hands are her bridge between the apparent and the supersensible. Balancing faithful representation with lively surface textures, Atousa Foroohary’s art casts discernible reality in a friendly, natural light. Atousa’s works are presented in galleries throughout Ontario and by Agora gallery in New York City.
