Medium: Painting, Drawing

Mitra Soleimani has had a passion for painting since her early childhood. She used to draw pictures of cartoon characters with chalk on the pavement in the schoolyard.

In high school, she started painting in oil. Prior to entering the university, she briefly tried traditional techniques such as watercolour and gouache.

While working and taking care of her children, she did not find time to paint. Finally, she started watercolour painting at the Vancouver Coal Harbour Community Centre under Homa Eftekhr supervision. Everything was put on pause and she was unable to continue going to this class because of the spread of Corona. In 2022, she learned about the Garibaldi Art Club and became a member. Participating in the club's Monday open painting sessions encourages her to keep painting. She attempted acrylic, pour acrylic, and pastel painting. As an artist, her signature is "Sisto."
