Bahreh Navabi

Biography

cultural narratives bahareh navabi portrait

Bahareh Navabi, born in 1985 in Tehran, Iran, received her BFA in arts and MFA from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. Her work combines hyper-realistic portrait drawing with abstract forms, a style influenced by her extensive study with the late Farideh Lashei, a renowned Iranian master. She often uses multiple layers of tracing paper in her technique.

Navabi’s first solo exhibition took place in Tehran in 1996. Since then, she has held several solo exhibitions in both Iran and France, including two at Dastan’s Basement. She has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, such as Dastan’s presence at Art Dubai 2016 and DDessin in Paris.
