The Dream Weaver: The Artistry of Soossan Shariatmadari

There are artists who create with their hands

— and then there is Soossan Shariatmadari, 

an artist who creates from dreams, childhood skies, Kurdish colors, and the soft poetry of memory.

Her pieces are not merely accessories.

They are stories stitched into form,

tiny worlds where the shimmer of crystal becomes a star,

where recycled fabrics return as flowers, birds, and surreal gardens,

and where nostalgia turns into wearable art.

Growing up as an Iranian Kurdish child, Soossan lived in a universe drenched in color:

the vibrant dresses of her culture,

the movement of blue water,

the depth of summer’s night sky,

the scent of passing breezes,

and the quiet magic of architectural masterpieces she wandered through with childlike awe.

She followed butterflies.

She listened to birds.

She dreamed of touching clouds.

And even as life carried her far from those early wonders,

they rooted themselves deep within her —

waiting patiently for the day they would bloom again.

🌿 A Life of Many Chapters

Before she returned to art, Soossan walked a completely different path.

Educated in Cambridge (UK), she built a 22-year career in international banking, working with HSBC, Commerzbank, and ING Bank.

Her world was filled with logic, structure, numbers, and global movement.

But sometimes, the soul calls us back.

After retiring — and in the stillness of the pandemic — Soossan discovered the one thing that had always been waiting for her:

Creation.

It began like a whisper.

Then a spark.

Then a fire.

A return to colors.

A return to dreams.

A return to the child who once picked wildflowers for her father.

 

🌸 Her Collections — Where Memory Becomes Art

Each of Soossan’s creations is made from recycled fabrics, gemstones, beads, metal wire, and found materials.

Every piece is a love letter to nature, storytelling, and cultural heritage.

✨ A Bouquet of Flowers

A tribute to childhood moments spent picking wildflowers to gift her father.

A soft, emotional composition of recycled fabric and crystal gems — each petal woven with tenderness.

✨ Surreal Garden – Single Edition Choker

A whimsical memory of summers with her grandparents, in gardens overflowing with care and unconditional love.

Fabric, agate, and crystal gems come together to create a dreamlike, one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

✨ Haji Firouz – The Messenger of Spring

Inspired by Iran’s traditional figure announcing the New Year, and the mythical prosperity bird believed to carry blessings wherever it lands.

✨ Peaceful Night – Velvet Earrings

Black velvet and crystal gems capturing the depth of a summer night sky — a quiet meditation on starlight and stillness.

✨ Shahrzad of One Thousand and One Nights – Grey Prosperity Bird

A poetic tribute to the legendary storyteller who used wisdom to change destiny.

Recycled materials reborn as a bird of blessings, magic, and narrative power.

to bring joy into the world by transforming recycled materials into colorful, meaningful, handmade art.

Her mission is deeply rooted in sustainability, imagination, and cultural storytelling.

Every piece she makes carries the hope of adding beauty, light, and emotion back into everyday life.
