Sepideh Faramarzi is a contemporary painter with over a decade of professional practice, characterized by a continuous exploration of visual language and international collaboration. Her practice investigates the fluid boundary between reality and imagination, where intuitive movement meets a deliberate, layered structure. Through metaphorical imagery and a sophisticated use of color, she creates a multi-dimensional dialogue that invites viewers to uncover hidden narratives within the contemporary canvas.
Her artistic journey spans across borders, with significant participation in the New York Art Symposiums and exhibitions in Malaysia, Belgium, Germany, and China. Her career is highlighted by more than 10 international awards from prestigious institutions in the USA, South Korea, Italy, and Norway, and over 30 honors from global art festivals.
Beyond the studio, she has served as a pivotal figure in the art community as the Art Manager of the first "Afaride" festival in Tehran, dedicated to supporting and promoting Iranian women painters.
