Maysa Bogheiri is a member of the Beautiful Bizarre Artist Directory
Maysa Bogheiri is a self-taught watercolor artist based in the U.S. Her journey to becoming an artist has been diverse, with explorations in fields such as speech therapy and animation. Ultimately, it was a moment of clarity that led Maysa to embrace her true calling—she realized that pursuing art was the key to living a fulfilling life.
Maysa’s style can best be described as surrealism. Drawn to the unpredictable nature of watercolor, she loves how the medium requires her to let go of control, allowing creativity to flow in unexpected ways. Her process is spontaneous and intuitive; she often begins without a specific theme, guided instead by a visual idea or a feeling that sparks her imagination. Daydreaming and allowing her mind to wander freely helps images emerge and take shape on the paper. As an Iranian American artist, Maysa’s work subtly reflects her cultural background, offering glimpses into the crossroads of her heritage and personal experiences.
Maysa’s work is intensely personal, driven by a deep need to give form to her thoughts and emotions. Often centered around female figures, her paintings serve as a medium to confront and process her inner world. Through her art, she confronts her darker feelings in a cathartic process, facing her inner “monsters” despite the discomfort this brings.
