Tahera Fasehi

Tahera Fasehi, turned to art so that she could express her feelings and thoughts on canvas, and truly see them. She loves painting because through shapes and colors, she can show what’s in her mind. When she enters the world of colors, especially when painting a landscape, she realizes the beauty, delicacy, and magnificence of nature and its creator.This is when Tahera feels that this world, created with so much grace and beauty, certainly has not been made in vain. Through this path, Tahera wants to change the image people have of Afghanistan and show them the most beautiful picture — art instead of war. She currently lives in Afghanistan.
