Sadra Mirsharifi joined the School of Fine Arts in 2013 and started to learn painting by studying outside world observation. Upon graduating from art school and beginning university, he focused on painting and developing his artistic expression. During this time, most of his works are sketches and oil paintings, often self portraits or close friends. In 2016 his mothers’ portrait was selected for Tate's "Future Late" exhibition, which was a milestone. From 2016 to 2017, He created a body of work named "Shapeless," which includes coloured pencil portraits and figures of bodies covered in clothes. "It wasn't my intention to draw figures but to use the human body form to create a human-like creature." He states about this series. In the meantime, Sadra co-founded the “Eastern Whistle,”a collective artists group of the 90's generation who demands a change to the Iranian contemporary art scene; Through non conformal, creative thinking expressing the genuine personal experiments of the second post-revolutionary generation. Sadra Mirsharifi explores unconventional approaches to portraiture, mostly paints figurative explorations of hybrid creatures, animals, and human figures, both fictional and historical. He examines themes relating to identity and history, personal memories, and symbolism.
