With a background in visual communication and illustration, she works across acrylic painting, visual storytelling, and mixed media. Her early artistic practice included illustration training in Iran and a group exhibition at the Hafez Memorial in Shiraz in 2012. Her Hafez poster was later presented in Le Lointain de Près in Belgium in 2014. Today, her paintings bring together figures, horses, birds, and imagined landscapes to explore memory, migration, and the search for belonging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eARTIST’S STATEMENT\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy paintings begin with feelings that are difficult to put into words: the distance from a familiar place, the memories we carry, and the hope of finding home again. I use figures, horses, birds, and imagined landscapes as symbols of movement and connection. Rather than telling one fixed story, I leave space for viewers to bring their own memories and emotions to each painting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/helloart.com\/collections\/mahzad-rostami.oembed","provider":"helloart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
