Dasha Pears is an award-winning artist based in Helsinki, Finland. Her aesthetically clean works focus on self- discovery and inner worlds. They are like doors to a surreal universe where any psychological state becomes beautiful. Pears uses the instruments of surrealism, minimalism, color, photography, and digital manipulation to tell surprising visual stories with a twist. Each work is like a one-shot movie, depicting the reality of what's going on in the human mind. Every emotion and psychological state becomes something outwardly beautiful in Pears’ creative hands. Her art gives viewers a chance to be at peace with themselves, to let the clutter of everyday life disappear. Pears encourages viewers to concentrate on a limited number of emotions and ideas while looking at her art. Dasha Pears started on her artistic path in 2010. Since then, she has received many notable awards, including the Smithsonian Magazine Award, a gold medal from the Photographic Society of America and, most recently, a Certificate of Artistic Achievement from the Luxemburg Art Prize. Pears has exhibited her work all over the world, from the US and Mexico to Europe, Asia, and Australia, including large international juried shows such as NordArt, Germany, and the Prague International Art Exhibition. Her artworks are in over 100 private collections worldwide, including those in London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Austin, and Tel-Aviv. Pears’ creations are owned by expert art lovers working for Sotheby's, the Harvard Art Museum, and the Obama Foundation.
