Negin Fallahmoghadami (1985) is a multidisciplinary visual artist from Iran, currently residing in Roma, Italy, where she is pursuing her MFA in Printmaking at Rome University of Fine Arts, RUFA. Her artistic approach spans across various disciplines, including painting, printmaking, sculpture, stop motion, and performance art.
Negin's artistic journey began in 2006, immersed in the rich traditions of Iranian art, particularly in Tazhib (illuminated manuscript & Iranian mandala), Tasheer (flora and fauna), and Iranian Miniature. This journey was complemented by her academic pursuits, including Graphic Design (AA) at Hafez University in Tehran, Iran, and Interior Design (BA) at the Lebanese International University in Lebanon.
Her work is a fusion of Persian cultural heritage and Western figurative presentation, creating a dialogue between traditional symbolism and contemporary art. This blend of influences has shaped a unique vision that bridges history and the modern world.
Through her artwork, a perpetual dialogue unfolds between chaos and harmony, presence and absence, creation and destruction. The foundation of her artistic exploration delves into concepts encompassing human behavior, psychology, naturalism philosophy, literature, and mythology.
Her selected exhibitions include Corner MAXXI - Rome, Italy, FIRRETI CONTEMPORARY - UAE, Espace Sait-Remi - Bordeaux, France, HUB Kuwait – Kuwait, Iwan Maktabi, Beirut - Lebanon, 392RMEIL393, Beirut – Lebanon.
