Hamideh Behgar’s artistic journey began in Iran with a focus on symmetrical, geometrically formed sculptures inspired by nature’s complexity. Moving to Canada, she embraced her new environment and pursued a shift towards creative freedom, breaking away from strict structural forms to more organic ones that embody nature’s spontaneity.
Her art explores human emotions and the pursuit of liberation, drawing from her childhood creativity and her innate connection to the human form. Hamideh’s work fosters interactive experiences, urging viewers to feel and reflect deeply, promoting self-discovery and diverse perspectives through engagement with her sculptures.
Through this artistic philosophy, she encourages a dialogue between art and the viewer, creating an enveloping narrative that lauds the blend of organic forms and creative expression.
Hamideh aspires to create spaces where art is not just observed but felt and experienced, fostering a welcoming atmosphere that spurs people to engage their imaginations and connect with different ideas and emotions. She aims to propel visitors to encounter thoughts and feelings anew, thereby fostering the discovery of fresh perspectives and enriching experiences through her art.
