Farinaz Saatian is a Tehran-based visual artist, born in December 1981, and trained in architecture—a background that is distinctly reflected in her sensitivity to space, composition, and the relationship between the individual and their environment. She has been practicing professionally in the field of visual arts for over fifteen years.
While a significant part of her work is realized through oil and acrylic painting, her practice extends beyond the two-dimensional surface, encompassing diverse material explorations including clay and ceramics. Her visual language is shaped by her lived experience in Tehran, encounters with its social fabric, and extensive travels across Iran—experiences that emerge in her work not as direct representation, but as traces of perception and subjective reflection.
Saatian’s recent inclusion in Soo Contemporary marks a meaningful alignment with the gallery’s ongoing commitment to supporting experimental and forward-thinking practices in contemporary Iranian art. Soo Contemporary has consistently fostered a platform for critical dialogue and bold artistic voices. We warmly welcome her to the gallery and look forward to the development of this collaboration.
