Nurieh Mozaffari (Template:Lang-fa; born May 20, 1960) is an Iranian–born contemporary painter.

Early life and education

Nurieh Mozaffari was born in 1960 in Tehran, Iran. She grew up in the city of Rudsar in Gilan Province in northern Iran.

Mozaffari studied at Alzahra University in Tehran, and under the supervision of painter Aydin Aghdashloo. Upon receiving her B.A. degree in 1989, she pursued her M.A. degree at Islamic Azad University,[1] and graduated in 1996. [2]

In 1998, Mozaffari emigrated to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and obtained a diploma in jewelry design.[where?][when?]

Career

Mozaffari has worked as a lecturer at Islamic Azad University. In her art career, she has worked with many Iranian contemporary art figures, including Shahla Habibi, Bahman Boroujeni, Rouin Pakbaz, Homayoun Salimi, Mehdi Hosseini, and Hannibal Alkhas.

Mozaffari has held several solo exhibitions of her works, [3] which included the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, Sad Abod museum Tehran, Nivran museum Tehran, Shohada museum Tehran, Azadi museum Tehran, Pacific Museum of Earth in Vancouver, and Institute du monde arabe (Solo exhibition) Paris.

French Embassy in DC

Nourieh Mozafari held an exhibition at the French Embassy where she displayed her paintings.

Nourieh Mozafari's paintings have participated in more than twenty solo exhibitions and dozens of group exhibitions in the last decade, including in Washington, Vancouver, Dubai, France, Great Britain and several Scandinavian countries. She immigrated to Canada ten years ago and spends several months of the year in Paris, engaged in painting.

Two years ago, however, Mrs. Mozaffari moved near Washington D.C. and spends most of the year in the United States. Nurieh was recorded as a resident in 2010-2020 in Rockville, Maryland, USA. [4] During this time she has exhibited her paintings in several exhibitions near the nations Capitol and sold some of them. [5]

Works

Although Mozaffari has worked in both realist and modern styles, her pieces have mostly been in abstract expressionism. She is known for the use of Persian cultural symbolism in her compositions.[6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

Influence of modern Iranian symbols and elements from the country's history are widely visible in many of her paintings.[1][12]


Mozaffari's mixed media pieces include photographs of people and places that are printed on canvas and then painted over. In her Paris Révé collection, dome-top statues and sunlight in larger fields of Paris are punctuated by gold gestures. Pictures of real places are blurred and partially obscured and depict recollections. Her larger, bolder paintings add bright orange and darker blue to the artist's foggy palette.[13]
