NASTARAN SHAHBAZI
Born in 1982, Nastaran Shahbazi is an Iranian artist, living and working between Paris and Hong Kong. Trained in both graphic design and visual arts, Nastaran Shahbazi developed a strong interest in printmaking during her studies. Since then, she has been experimenting with the medium, and has exhibited original etchings in solo and group exhibitions. She also makes unsettling monochromatic drawings, as well as bold and vividly-colored expressionist paintings.
Her works deal with war, oppression and displacement, and at the same time, they are personal expressions of loss and despair. Imbued with mystery, the unfathomable images produced by Shahbazi contain her boiling resentment for intolerance.
