Jinet Shahbazian is a Los Angeles-based visual artist, born and raised in Iran, whose work bridges cultures through texture, material, and meaning. With a Master’s degree in Visual Art and a background in graphic design, her creative journey spans raised texture painting, mosaic, collage, sculpture, and mixed media murals. After moving to the U.S. in 2009, Jinet continued pursuing her passion for art, gradually building a new circle of collectors and supporters by actively participating in local art festivals and exhibitions. Her artwork now adorns private homes and businesses across the U.S. and abroad, and has been acquired by both individual collectors and city officials
Her artistic process begins with inspiration from nature’s textures, colors, and organic forms. Jinet’s signature style features layered surfaces, raised textures, and the use of materials such as glass, ceramic, mirror, fabric, and found objects—resulting in fresh, original 2D and 3D works that tell stories of memory, identity, and transformation​n addition to her studio practice, Jinet is an active art educator. She teaches mosaic, painting, and mixed media workshops to children, teens, and adults across Los Angeles—sharing her knowledge, techniques, and love for the creative process with her community.
Jinet’s work has been exhibited in both public and private collections in Iran and the U.S., including large-scale mosaic murals and permanent sculptures. Her passion for mosaic art began in 2006, when she designed a mixed media table and later created her first large-scale mural in her own backyard. Since then, she has completed numerous indoor and outdoor mosaic projects throughout Iran and the Los Angeles area, including installations in local cathedrals.
One of her most notable works is the bronze sculpture of Khachatour Kesaratsi, located at the architecturally and culturally significant
Vank Cathedral in Isfahan, Iran- 2007.
Artist Statement
When I moved to the United States, I never imagined I’d have the chance to own an art studio again. But here it is—my own little creative space, where I get to share and sell the work born from my imagination, experience, and passion.
Drawing and sculpting have always been part of my journey, but painting holds a special place in my heart. Nature is my greatest inspiration. I’m constantly drawn to its colors, forms, and energy. Whether I’m painting landscapes, people, or animals, I aim to capture the essence and spirit of the natural world.
Most of my pieces are rich in texture, created by layering different materials with varying thicknesses and sheens. This tactile quality brings a unique depth to each work and helps translate emotion and movement into something physical and lasting.
Through my art, I try to bring the outside in—to fill any living space with warmth, life, and positive energy. Creating art is not just a process for me, it’s a way of connecting—with nature, with people, and with the deeper parts of myself.
