I see what you are imagining — then I make it more beautiful.
Zarin means golden and radiant
Zarin Art is about more than decorating a surface. It is about giving a room warmth, character and a sense of story — through colour, texture and patterns shaped by cultural memory.
A piece can live directly on a wall, or come with you as an artwork on canvas, wood, tile or another suitable surface.
For your home, restaurant or private space
You do not need to arrive with a finished design. A colour, a memory, a cultural reference, a favourite pattern — or simply the atmosphere you want in the room — can be enough to begin.

The artist
She grew up in Iran, trained at Golistan Kabir Art School and studied archaeology before moving to New Zealand.
That background lives quietly in the work: an affection for ornament, old surfaces, repeated geometry, layered colour and the feeling that cultural patterns can still belong in a contemporary home.
Zarin Art is where those influences become something personal — not a reproduction of the past, but new work made for the space and the person in front of her.
A first conversation
You can come with a clear idea or with almost nothing decided. A photo of the space, a colour, a pattern or a few words about the feeling you want is a good place to start.
