MARIYA AFRA Visual Artist. Painter. Potter. University & Art Lecturer 

I create through color, clay, texture, and emotion — moving between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary visual storytelling.

Art is not only my profession; it is the language through which I understand life, memory, and human feeling.

My practice blends painting, pottery, digital art, branding, and poetic expression into tactile visual narratives.

I’m Mariya Vahid — a multidisciplinary visual artist, painter, potter, graphic designer, and university lecturer.

My artistic journey began with a deep emotional connection to color, nature, and storytelling. Over the years, I have explored multiple forms of visual expression, from traditional painting and pottery to digital art, branding, NFT exhibitions, and academic research.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design and a Master’s degree in Animation, combining handcrafted artistic practice with contemporary visual media.

Painting allows me to translate emotion into color, while pottery connects me to material, texture, and mindfulness. Poetry and symbolism often shape the soul of my artworks.

My works have been exhibited internationally, including NFT NYC and Times Square exhibitions in New York, alongside academic presentations in international art conferences.

I believe art exists everywhere in nature, memory, and human experience — waiting to be discovered and transformed into visual form.
