A World of Possibilities

4371 Kingston Rd., Scarborough

Growing up can be confusing, fun, and adventurous. We wanted to create a mural that would reflect that idea, where children can see themselves and interact in an imaginative way. Highly stylized characters, and abstract elements helped us achieve that feel.

ABOUT ME

AMIR AKBARI

My work is rooted in the belief that creativity and self-expression can have a lasting impact on the development and growth of all people and their communities. My work has taught me that art has the power to connect people to each other, their environment, and themselves in a meaningful way. I hope to bring art to communities that are not provided equal access and opportunity.
