Toronto-based Fine Artist

Mahshid Khajehvand

I create expressive works that tell stories, from emotional portraits to imaginative compositions, with a primary focus on expansive oil on canvas, alongside traditional graphite, acrylic, pastel, and colored pencil.
Welcome to MoonArt Gallery, a curated collection of custom fine art and personal expression.

Fine Art Portrait

Realistic portraits capturing facial detail, emotion, and character — created using traditional techniques like charcoal, pencil, or mixed media.

Conceptual

Works driven by ideas, emotion, or metaphor — where form and technique are used to explore deeper meanings and abstract themes.

Figurative Fine Art

Artworks focusing on the human form, gestures, and posture to express mood, story, or symbolism — often beyond traditional portrait framing.

Lifestyle Portrait

Portraits that capture real-life moments and natural expressions — blending fine art technique with the spontaneity of everyday life. These works often reflect personality, movement, and a sense of story beyond the studio.

MoonArt Gallery - Artist

Drawing from a rich cultural background and significant international experience, Mahshid has developed a signature style that seamlessly merges realism, surrealism, and impressionism. Her work frequently explores human emotion, identity, and everyday beauty, drawing inspiration from real moments and imagined worlds alike to weave personal storytelling into classical technique.

At the heart of MoonArt Gallery is her belief that art is not only visual, it’s emotional, intimate, and deeply human. Whether it’s a commissioned portrait or a conceptual piece, each artwork is created with intention and care.

As an artist, I devote myself fully to every piece I create, from first sketch to final touch. Where detail matters and quality is never compromised.
