DARIUS BASHAR BIOGRAPHY

Darius Bashar is a professional artist, serial entrepreneur, and sought-after thought leader on creativity, confidence, and joyful consistency. As the founder of a global community for creators, Darius is passionate about helping people unlock their creative spirit, move through resistance, and courageously share their gifts with the world. His speaking topics center around creative confidence, overcoming perfectionism, building consistent habits, and deepening the relationship we each have with creativity itself.

Before stepping fully into the speaking and coaching space, Darius built a celebrated career as a portrait photographer. His signature HEARTshots™ experience—a powerful fusion of photography and inner exploration—has helped thousands of leaders see themselves more clearly and confidently. His photography has been featured by TIME, Apple, USA TODAY, and Oprah.com, and has received over 100 million views online. Darius has also photographed some of the world’s most respected creatives and thought leaders, including Seth Godin, Elizabeth Gilbert, Dr. Shefali, Jim Kwik, Danielle LaPorte, Lisa Nichols, and Masai Ujiri.

In addition to his creative work, Darius is a respected educator and coach who guides individuals and organizations through the blocks that keep them stuck. His popular 7-day course Supercharge Your Creativity has welcomed over 6,000 students with an average 4.9-star rating. He has delivered talks, workshops, and keynote sessions for entrepreneurs, artists, wellness communities, and mission-driven companies—empowering people to trust their voice, access deeper clarity, and bring bold ideas to life. His signature frameworks and storytelling approach have made him a favorite among audiences looking for inspiration grounded in actionable insight.

Darius also brings a unique spiritual perspective to his work. He has produced over 300 guided meditations that have been streamed more than one million times on Insight Timer and YouTube. More than 30,000 people meditate with him monthly, and his community continues to grow through his weekly Artist Morning™ sessions, where he blends story, mindfulness, and journaling in a way that nurtures clarity and courage.

While Darius’s background is rooted in creativity and entrepreneurship, his work as a speaker and facilitator is informed by deep study in personal growth, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence. He is a lifelong learner who continues to explore the intersections of art, psychology, and spirituality—and brings this integrated lens to every stage, classroom, and client session he leads.

When he’s not speaking or creating, Darius is most often found meditating, writing, or spending time with his wife Lilian and their daughter Ariel. Family, community, and creativity are the roots of his life and the foundation of his work.
