A natural artist, Mazarine took up Art as her major in the 10th grade just to make school life easier and in the same year won a state award. What got her truly hooked to Art was her school trip to Bombay's famous Jehangir Art Gallery. Having discovered the gallery, she would often walk there with friends in her lunch break to admire the works of Indian masters and other upcoming artists. This inspired her to pursue a degree in Applied Art at Bombay's Sophia College where for five years she trained to be a Commercial Artist.
A free spirit at heart, she did not enjoy her "very long" 4-year career as an advertising art director. Since quitting advertising, she wandered in and out of jobs like animation, designing shop windows, even corporate headhunting and marketing before re-discovering her inner artist.
She has a simplistic definition of art -- It must be aesthetic, creative, tell a story, and at a minimum demonstrate the artist's skill with the medium. Each peice of work must stand on its own, and not on the artist's prior reputation or the fame of his other pieces. She has a unique 'reaslitic-abstract' style, her body of work has been described as "mysteries is art" - because you need to seek clues before the subject compeletely reveals itself.
Mazarine is an aspiring author and an award winning established artist. She is skilled in a variety of mediums – Oils, Acrylics, Charcoal, Pencils, Pastels, Pen & inks or a fusion of mediums. She has had several international solo and group showings, her artworks have found homes all over the world.
She was born in Bombay to an eccentric, fun loving, Zoroastrian family.
She is of Iranian ancestry, Indian by birth, Canadian by choice and Italian at heart. Mazarine loves Italy, but calls Toronto home, she paints and teaches at 'The Art Brewery' her studio in the Toronto's arty and historic distillery district.
