Hi I’m Sevin. I’m a Berlin based artist, born in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1984.
Drawing has always been a part of my life, art was always my refuge. As a kid, I read so many comic books, and copied all the characters that I loved a million times. Life brought me to do things I didn’t really want to do and I kept my creativity only for me, as something to do in my free time. But the corporate world as I experienced it was not my jam. I learned a lot, I tried different things and earned more skills, but I wasn’t focusing on what I really dreamed of: make art everyday, as part of my job. After launching the art-focused NGO «Pass the Crayon» in 2015, and leading hundreds of creative workshops for kids, I finally decided to focus on my own art, my own creation. And here I am today, putting my work out there to reach more and more people!
My goal was always to inspire others, to open new doors, to allow someone like me – a fat queer migrant woman – to dare to dream and reach their goals.
With love,
Sevin
