Yousha Bashir

Yousha Bashir (b. 1989, Manila, Philippines) is a multidisciplinary artist living in Tehran. He has a degree in Computer Graphics Design and a BA in Visual Arts from the University of Farhangian in Tehran.

Bashir is a dynamic artist whose work has gone through significant transformations in style and output. His works focus on the relational study of form, the frame (the viewer's perception), and the space surrounding it, challenging the traditional framework of painting by exploring the intersection between the digital and physical realms. His vibrant and luminous imagery questions the definition of creative space in the digital age, particularly the role of digital technology in expanding the conceptual boundaries of landscapes.

In his latest series, Infinite Horizons, Bashir continues to investigate the complexities of translating digital images into physical paintings. This series reflects his recognition of human imperfection and the absence of absolute perfection. Through fluid brushstrokes and gradations of color, he captures the possibility of missteps in landscape painting, putting it in contrast with the precision of cutting-edge technology. Bashir’s use of light brings balance to color arrangements and infuses a sense of movement into the landscape. The result is a deeper exploration of construction, duality, and suspension, where both the physical and digital worlds merge, evoking new perspectives on space and depth.

Bashir's work has evolved from sculpture and installations to a more focused exploration of painting. Key themes such as the expansion of digital landscapes, the redefinition of spatial perception, and the interplay between light and shadow shape his recent creations. His works often blur the boundaries between virtual and physical realms, inviting viewers to experience shifting layers of space and form. Through this progression, Bashir continues to explore how digital and traditional mediums can challenge and redefine the viewer's perception of landscape and space.
