Faezeh Zandieh (b. 1993, Iran) is a painter, illustrator, and printmaker based in France. She has shown her work extensively as part of painting and printmaking exhibitions in Iran and around the world, including the US, England, and France. Recently, she was announced as the winner of the KHOR Art Initiative 2023, mesmerizing the jury with the intensity of her figures, their expressions, and the intriguing atmosphere conjured up in each scene. She has also been awarded two residencies in France. After completing a residency in Lyon, France, with the support of the Bullukian Foundation, she stayed in France to expand her work.
The human body and anatomy have been the main subjects of Zandieh's work from the start. Her visual quest involves the human figures and the force fields formed around the human body which almost become palpable through her use of various techniques. Manual printmaking provided her with the quality she needed to bring her desired form and content closer together. Simultaneously, she continued to work on her oil painting and figurative storytelling.
