MARYAM RASSAPOUR

About the Artist

Maryam Rassapour is an Iranian-American contemporary fine artist who blends traditional Persian art themes with modern, mixed media techniques to bring attention to feminist issues, her primary subject area. Rassapour has received a B.F.A./M.F.A. of Art in Communication Design from Azad University in Tehran, Iran. Rassapour is a graphic designer, visual artist, and art teacher. Her work has been exhibited in galleries across the US, including in Los Angeles and New York City. 

Rassapour’s artwork has been deeply influenced by her childhood experiences under war conditions and a theocratic autocracy that imposed societal constraints on all women. Through her art, Rassapour strives to harmonize form and meaning by creating pieces where both the visual elements and underlying semantics mesh together. This end product invites viewers to explore the space between reality and dreams and challenges them to understand the different perspectives of life as a woman.
