My name is Arya Ansari, and I am from Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan. Life has not always followed the path I imagined, but every twist has shaped me into who I am today—a fifth-semester medical student and an artist whose heart beats for painting.
For three years, I was away from university, yet those years were filled with vibrant colors of growth and learning. While I acquired new skills, completed online programs, and earned certifications, my evenings often ended with a brush in hand. Painting became my sanctuary, where the strokes of color reflected my determination to turn challenges into opportunities. During this time, I also worked as an intern in obstetrics and gynecology. The intensity of that experience was balanced by my art, which allowed me to express the emotions of life and healing I witnessed daily.
in my spare time, I delve into my two great hobbies: reading and painting. For me, painting is not just a hobby; it is how I change emotions, clear my thoughts, and free my spirit.

Through every step of my journey, painting has been my companion, my healer, and my voice. It reminds me that even amidst adversity, I can create something beautiful. It is not just a part of who I am; it is the essence of how I see and shape the world around me.
