Elham, whose name means “inspiration,” she is a Multi-Disciplinary Iranian artist.
I am a multi-disciplinary Iranian artist and a painting teacher and i lived most of my life in Iran. I am born and raised in Tehran, a country known for its rich history of art and culture. I started my carrier as a self-taught artist 20 years ago and through that period I challenged myself to integrate different social topics and developed my own unique techniques.
Even though I had many private and group exhibitions in Iran I soon realized that as an artist in Iran, it was not easy to present my art in the way i desired. Despite the love of my country, I made the difficult decision to leave Iran due to the situation there. I then moved to Cyprus where i discovered Freshart College in Paphos. With my desire to obtain an academic qualification in Fine Arts I made a research and gathered positive recommendations about Freshart college. By contacting the college i was provided all the necessary information and decided to enroll.
At the beginning of my studies, I faced the challenge of communicating with fellow students as I could not speak Greek, but the environment was very kind and patient with me as they could see my patience and enthusiasm to learn. My final project focused on creating 3D art on Persian doors, i was excited to present my art piece to the world and felt a sense of excitement and motivation that through my studies i was given this opportunity to explore unknown practical skills such as this newfound niche of 3D technique.
Since graduating i have not only developed my skills both on practices and theory i have also participated in a number of exhibitions both in Cyprus and Paris. I am currently working on a range of projects including site specific art that I plan to exhibit in the future.
