about the artist
She began in her early childhood, using every opportunity to express her universe artistically
and the desire to further develop these ambitions manifested itself.
She began to work with oil colours at the age of 14.
Her first name Shabnam means morning dew in Farsi, the Persian language.
Thus, the fascination of water led Shabnam Miller to use the colour blue frequently in her early works.
In 2003 she decided to moved to Austin, Texas with her then 3 year old son. There, she studied the public art scene and her art developed further. She integrated powerful colours into her paintings, inspired by the Mexican subculture of Austin, Texas.
She had several opportunities to successfully present her expressive surreal paintings.
Despite the love that she had developed for Austin for the 9 years spent there, she increasingly missed the European way of life. It was important for her, to show this to her son as well. Thus she decided to move back to Germany with her son in 2011.
After her return to Germany, she continued with her passion for painting and exhibitions followed.
