From an early age, Behshad demonstrated a deep connection to the arts beginning a record collection at just eighteen months old. Although music was the artist’s first passion, by the age of 21 it became clear that pursuing it professionally would not be feasible. This realization led to a shift toward visual arts.

After a brief period of formal academic training—cut short after a year and a half Behshad found mentorship under a respected artist and architect who played a pivotal role in guiding their creative development. Early artistic exploration was marked by experimentation with a variety of styles influenced by admired figures, culminating in the emergence of a distinct visual language in 2008.

Despite the shift in medium, music has remained a central, enduring influence—not in terms of sound, but translated into lines, forms, and colors that pulse throughout the artist’s visual work.
