Shahla Hosseini has also illustrated children's books. In the early years of her artistic career, she often painted portraits, but later she began to represent objects and natural remains of animals and insects, such as bone fragments, shells and their wings. She also collected these objects and displayed them in boxes years later. Hosseini also put these collected objects together with some industrial and artificial objects and some pictures and written documents in a collection titled "Rediscovered" and made a symbolic and surrealist expression.
In Shahla Hosseini's drawings, the lines and shadows are pale, soft and gentle, so that their beginning and end may not be completely clear. In addition to drawing, she has experimented with other artistic media; The presence of abstract objects and shapes, as well as various diagrams and maps in Hosseini's compositions, has made her artworks mysterious.
