About the artist
Soheila Sokhanvari Born 1964 Shiraz, Iran
Lives and works in Cambridge.
Soheila Sokhanvari is a multi-media artist whose work is rooted in her Iranian heritage as a reflection of her experiences of loss of homeland in her childhood entwined with political events and collective trauma. Trained as a Persian miniature painter as a child she is inherently drawn to narratives that combine her Eastern and Western heritage. She describes her work as an aesthetic skin to deeper political layers and narrative.
