About The Artist

Mina was born in Tehran, Iran, and raised in a small town in New Jersey called Dumont. Not being fluent in English as a child, she found herself communicating through the world of drawing and colors, mesmerizing fellow kindergarteners with her budding artistry. In her adolescent years, she realized her talent and upon seeing her watercolor painting in a showcase, her passion was ignited. While attending high school, she fell in love with different forms of art and would use them throughout her academics. She traveled extensively before continuing her education at UCLA, where she obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Design. Though she found those days extremely challenging, she considers them the best in her experience. After a long search for the purpose of her life, she found answers in Kabbalah. It was through these teachings that she discovered joy in her love and passion for oil painting. The creative fulfillment from painting gives her a feeling of oneness with the universe. She believes that through her art, she brings out the unlimited power of potential we all share. She truly wishes that her images are able to awaken the spark of Light we all posses. www.minanovian.com All Paintings Copyright © Mina Novian
