Fereshteh Setayesh

In 1981, I entered to world of painting. At the age of 18, I started my art training with famous contemporary art instructors, Masters Aidin Aghdashlou, Parvaneh Etemadi and Mohammad Ebrahim Jafari and this was the beginning of a long journey filled with ups and downs.After my first exhibition got noticed by viewers and critics and brought me a great deal of positive reviews and feed-backs, I knew that art is my destiny.In the first 16 years of my artistic career, I focused on real still-life painting with color pencil. Then slowly moved away from objectivism and changed my view toward visual art. Through changing elements in my art works and learning about material substances and textures; I have made new compositions for my paintings. By using materials like metal, wood, glass, rope and fabric, I have created a visual expression using words made from texture,surface, layers, lines and colors. 

Till now (2020), I have held 12 solo exhibitions and exhibited my works in 90+group exhibitions in Iran, UAE, Slovenia, Italy, Germany, Canada and United States. 

My works are also available in several public and private collections including:

- Ladjevardi Foundation, Paris – France

- Pino Nicoletti Contemporary Art Collection, Matera – Italy

- Goharan Cultural Group, Tehran – Iran

- Seyhoun Art Collections, Tehran - Iran

- Isfahan Museum of Contemporary Art, Isfahan – Iran

- Torino Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Collection,Torin, Italy 

I believe everything beautiful, free, simple and surprising,stimulating human sensitivity and emotions, is an artwork. I combine unrelated elements to create an independent one, getting my audience excited by new patterns. I visualize another world like a visual story beyond this world and nature. A visual expression of what does not exist, but it should.Like a seeker child, I am always looking to see and explore new borders in my work and with every new experiment; I feel a great joy as I believe this has been my greatest teacher in life, art and specially painting.
