Shahpari Rahmani is a contemporary painter whose work translates memory, materiality and mark-making into richly layered, luminous canvases. Holding an MA in Painting from Alzahra University, Rahmani investigates the relationship between surface and depth through acrylic and mixed media techniques.
Drawing from a foundation in academic training and a deep personal commitment to gesture and color, Rahmani seeks to bridge internal emotional terrain with external form. Her work is anchored in vulnerability, transformation and the threshold between what is visible and what is hidden. Through shifting pigments, scraped textures and suggested figurations, she invites the viewer into a space of contemplation and latent narrative.
Her paintings reflect an intuitive process: shapes emerge, recede and re-emerge; layers accumulate as traces of time and intention. In doing so Rahmani engages questions of identity, impermanence and the passage of memory—rendering the ephemeral into something tactile, suspended and persistent.
