Visual Artist

Anna Kavehmehr is an Iranian-Canadian artist and illustrator, born and raised in Tehran, Iran, and currently based in Toronto, Canada. She holds a Master’s degree in Digital Media and a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design with a minor in Illustration.

Storytelling lies at the heart of Anna’s practice. Her work is driven by a deep fascination with the human condition—exploring inner struggles, interpersonal dynamics, and the quiet complexities of emotion. Raised between cultures, she draws from both Eastern and Western influences, blending the aesthetics of traditional Persian art with her love for alternative music, Gothic literature, and surrealist visual language.

Art has long served as Anna’s refuge—a space to reconcile the dualities within her identity and express subjects often left unspoken, such as mental health and emotional vulnerability.

Her work has been exhibited internationally, including shows in Tehran, Kuala Lumpur, Bologna, San Francisco, and Toronto.
