Bita Motamedi

Fine Artist , Graphic Designer , Crafter , Idea Generator & Researcher

To evoke the thinking process, I always create a proportion of nature and mind or a function or an equation. I just think some stages of creative process may be the joint phase of image and word and my final form is, in essence, a consistent whole of them. Discovering a connection or balance between concrete and abstract, in nature, nature of everything and everyone, can be my inspiration. Watercolor is an intimate media for me. I can trust its sophisticated Quiddity or Whatness.

I was part of many Canadian juried Art Exhibitions and Craft and Art Festivals and Markets since 2010. My paintings have been accepted into several international and national juried art exhibitions in Canada, 2010-2021 and China, 2013. I am honored to receive an award for excellence for my watercolor painting from Canadian Society of Painters in Water Color (CSPWC), 2010. I had six solo exhibitions from 1999 to 2009.

As a graphic designer and artist, I have an extensive work experience of 20 years both as employee working as graphic designer and instructor, and as a self-employed person teaching and performing arts and also running a private art teaching school since 2008.
