Meet Behram Agha
Based in Saugus, Massachusetts, Behram Agha is a self-taught artist with over 18 years of experience creating captivating works in oil, acrylic, digital art, and sculpture.

My Artistic Journey
Art has been my voice since childhood, shaped by the unique perspective of dyslexia. I see the world intuitively, weaving intricate stories into every brushstroke, sketch, and sculpture. Over 18 years, I've honed my craft, moving from pencil sketches to mastering oil, acrylic, and digital tools like Procreate and Photoshop, creating a body of work that resonates with emotion and imagination.
My signature pieces, such as The Mango Tree and Me, reflect themes of personal growth and resilience, while my Superhero Series brings hope to children through ongoing donation efforts to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Boston Children’s Hospital, and other organizations. Featured on Saatchi Art, I aspire to showcase my work at prestigious venues like Christie’s and Sotheby’s, inviting the world to see through my dyslexic lens.
Giving Back Through Art
Art has the power to inspire and heal. I’m proud to be in the process of donating my work, including my vibrant Superhero Series, to organizations like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Boston Children’s Hospital. These pieces aim to bring joy and hope to young patients, and I’m committed to supporting more charities through my art.
When you purchase my art, you’re also supporting these causes. A portion of every sale funds the creation of more donation pieces, helping art make a meaningful difference in children’s lives.
Dyslexic Realism
Dyslexic Realism is my signature style—a vibrant blend of realism, impressionism, surrealism, and symbolic storytelling. Inspired by the bold, fantastical worlds of Warcraft and the emotional warmth of artists like Thomas Kinkade, my work celebrates the beauty of imperfection.
Symbols like the mango tree, representing resilience and growth, weave through my paintings, sculptures, and digital creations. My dyslexia fuels an intuitive layering of emotions and narratives, inviting viewers to explore the intersection of reality and imagination.

Using Photoshop, I create and refine digital compositions, enhancing colors and textures to produce layered artworks that bridge traditional painting with modern digital artistry.
