“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.”

Manaz Raiszadeh is a self-taught French-Afghan artist located in San Diego, California. She is an intuitional abstract painter who has been exploring and discovering our world and herself through her art. Her primary mediums are acrylic paint, oil pastels, and paper collage. Her paintings tell the stories that her words cannot express. She is fascinated by the places we have been and the stories we are told. Manaz's art brings her stories into life and eternalizes them. She believes that the universe gifted her a French edge, a Californian dream, and some hot boiling Afghan blood- and that is her duty to share it with the world.
