Portrait Artist

This new collection, titled OSMOSE, is an artistic journey that connects the rich cultural heritage of various ethnic groups with the present-day world.

Central to this narrative is the portrayal of women, who are depicted as custodians of cultural identity. Their faces, embellished with elegant traditional accessories inspired by global museum pieces, are set against the rough texture of concrete, representing the contemporary world. This interplay of traditional beauty and modern simplicity not only highlights the contrasts but also the common threads in cultural roots across nations. Through this, the collection seeks to reflect on the enduring and evolving nature of cultural identities in our modern society.

Marziyeh Shojaee

I am Marzieh Shojaee, an artist specializing in figure and portrait painting. Born in 1982 in Tehran, my artistic journey began at a fine arts high school, followed by a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture. I further enriched my artistic vision by obtaining a Master’s in Art Research.

My experience and knowledge in architecture and art philosophy profoundly influence my work, allowing me to blend structural precision with profound conceptual depth. My technique is a unique fusion of acrylics and pencils creating textures and layers that bring each piece to life.
Alongside my painting career, I also teach philosophy of art and art history. Additionally, I am engaged in art research and writing articles, focusing on the philosophy of art and architecture.
