I lost my home and studio during Eaton Canyons fire in January 16, 2025
In the Eaton Canyon fire, I lost everything—over a hundred paintings and sculptures, all my tools, and my cherished Persian carpets, which were family heirlooms. But I might find pieces of them. I’ve created a new series of watercolors that I haven’t documented yet. I usually don’t dream, but now my dream is to gather every piece of artwork and see them together. This is my dream now.”

Interview in Voyage LA online magazine
Today we’d like to introduce you to Delbar Shahbaz.
Delbar, please kick things off for us by telling us about yourself and your journey so far.
I am a visual artist, originally from Iran. I have been pursuing art professionally since I was fourteen years old. I studied oil painting portraiture with one of the most celebrated Iranian contemporary painters Abbas Katouzian. I love painting. I love it.
And I was feeling alive
