BIOGRAPHY - Fatemeh Hosseini

Fatemeh Hosseini is an Iranian visual artist and filmmaker whose interdisciplinary practice spans painting, printmaking, and film. Her work explores memory, identity, and displacement, drawing on experiences of migration, cultural transition, and generational shift. Time functions in her practice as a poetic, nonlinear presence rooted in personal and collective memory. Her current painting series, The Wind, reflects on the emotional landscape of migration through the use of egg tempera and acrylic, emphasizing materiality and tactile recall. Trained as a painter and sculptor in Tehran and now based in the United States, Hosseini bridges visual traditions from both cultures through introspective storytelling. Her work has been exhibited internationally and featured in New American Paintings (Issue No. 172, 2024), and she is the recipient of numerous awards, including the 33PA Publishing Prize and honors from the Art Renewal Center and the Luxembourg Art Prize.
