About The Artist

I’m Rachel, the founder of Doosti Dreams.

Welcome to my studio.

Although I call Dubai home today, my journey began in a quiet room in Tehran, where I first discovered the comfort of colors, stories, and imagination. From Iran to Australia and finally to the UAE, art has followed me like a small flame, steady, private, and alive even when life demanded other roles.

For me, art is a bridge between the inner world and the physical one. And now, in my 40s, I finally have the clarity, courage, and life wisdom to give that inner world a voice.

My style is what I call Whimsical Symbolic Surrealism , dreamlike, feminine, cosmic, som and emotionally layered. My pieces reflect inner realms, mythology, psychology, and the quiet wisdom gathered across continents. They are the stories of an observer, a girl who watched the world from many places, made mistakes, learned deeply, and never lost her curiosity during the changing seasons of life.

For more than twenty years, I worked in Human Resources, meeting over 110 nationalities.
I listened to their stories.
I laughed with them.
I supported their fears, dreams, frustrations, and hopes.

Those human experiences shaped me. They softened me. They taught me the emotional language I now pour into my art.

HR was a world of rules, systems, and structure.
Art became the place where all rules dissolve.
Where imagination is allowed to lead.
Where the mind expands, the soul speaks, and every dream becomes possible.

As a certified Art Coach, I believe that owning a custom artwork or any piece of art is not “decor.”
It is an emotional experience.
A connection.
A conversation between your story and mine.

For art to truly resonate, you must feel its philosophy, its intention, its soul.
Art should make you think.
It should make you feel.
And most importantly, it should give you hope.

My collections are inspired by curiosity, mythology, the Akashic themes of memory and wisdom, and the universal laws of the cosmos , where pain and pleasure turn into colors, emotions become shapes, and our perspectives become entire worlds.

I am also passionate about honoring the legends who shaped my imagination, musicians, actors, storytellers, comedians, thinkers and weaving their echoes into my own creations.

Through Doosti Dreams, I hope to take you on a journey where you don’t just see the art, but feel its meaning.
Where you explore your own inner worlds.
Where imagination becomes your companion again.
Where curiosity returns.
Where you find the courage to look at life through new colors.

Thank you for being here.
I hope you enjoy my collections, and I invite you to step into Behind the Brushstroke, where I share the philosophy and stories behind each creation.
