Aylin Rashidi Rostami

Aylin Rashidi Rostami: Visual Artist

Aylin Rashidi Rostami is a self-taught visual artist based in Javanrud, Kermanshah, Iran. With over five years of professional experience, she works primarily in coloured pencil, oil and acrylic painting. Her practice is characterised by vibrant colour palettes, expressive emotion and a personal storytelling approach — each piece reflecting memories and feelings that shaped it. Her work is intended as visual memory: an invitation for viewers to connect with the emotion behind the image rather than only its surface.

Profile Summary

Aylin Rashidi Rostami is a young Iranian visual artist working across coloured pencil, oil and acrylic painting. She began exhibiting publicly at an early age — her first solo exhibition took place when she was twelve — and has since participated in more than twenty-three city and provincial art competitions, receiving multiple awards across techniques and styles. Alongside her personal practice, she has worked as a freelance artist since 2019, creating custom and commissioned artworks for clients.

Artistic Style and Approach

Aylin’s artistic style is built on three elements: vibrant colour, expressive emotion and personal storytelling. Rather than working from a fixed visual formula, she develops each piece around a memory, feeling or narrative that gives the work its internal logic. The result is a body of work that reads as a series of visual memories — images that hold a specific emotional register and invite the viewer into that register rather than standing apart from it.

She works across three primary media — coloured pencil, oil and acrylic — using each for its distinct material qualities. Coloured pencil allows for detailed line and gradual tone; oil supports depth and blending; acrylic offers intensity of colour and fast compositional resolution. This range of media informs the way her paintings shift between sharpness and softness, structure and atmosphere.

Education and Artistic Development

Aylin holds a High School Diploma in Fashion Design. She is self-taught in the fine art techniques that define her practice, having developed her skills in coloured pencil, oil painting and acrylic painting through independent study and continuous studio work. She also holds an Art Training Certificate from the United Kingdom. Her development as an artist has been guided by consistent practice, participation in competitions and exhibitions, and direct engagement with clients through commissioned work.

Exhibitions and Achievements

Aylin’s exhibition record reflects a practice that began early and has continued to develop through public presentation:

Solo Art Exhibition — held at age twelve, marking her first public exhibition.

Solo Exhibition “Rangi” (Colorful) — a two-day exhibition held at age eighteen in her hometown, featuring paintings across multiple techniques.

Professional Practice

Since 2019, Aylin has worked as a freelance artist, specialising in custom and commissioned artworks. Her commissioned work focuses on translating a client’s vision into a finished piece, using her own visual language while respecting the intent and emotional direction of the brief. This combination of personal practice and commissioned work has shaped her ability to work across a range of subjects and formats while maintaining a consistent artistic voice.
