His mother, Zahra, would often take Farshchian and his siblings to the Immamzadeh Ismael in Isfahan. Farshchian's childhood home had an area called the Chicken House, where he played with birds like sparrows, hens, and roosters.
Birds are an element Farshchian often uses in his pieces, relating to his childhood memories.[2] Young Mahmoud showed an interest in arts quite early in life and studied under the tutelage of Haji Mirza-Agha Emami and Isa Bahadori for several years.
