Biography
Hengameh Farahmand
Born in Shiraz (Iran) 1962, lives and works in Hamburg (Germany).
The most striking element in Hengameh’s paintings is her passion for vivid colours and oriental motives which she explores through the use of a wide range of unique mixed media techniques. She often explores themes of love, aspiration, dreams and compassion, often blurring the boundaries between imagination and reality. The surfaces of her paintings are also a very important aspect of her work; the marks and textures and the play of light onto metallic surfaces brings a third dimension to works which often leave viewers transfixed. Hengameh has exhibited her works widely with a prominent exhibition at the Open Air Gallery in Berlin in 2008. In Athens (AthensArt-2010)was one of her greatest experiences regarding international art exhibitions, in June 2011in VIENNA TRAVEL GALLERY in Vienna, Austria, in August2011 in the ACQUIRE ARTSGALLERY in London, in September2011 in GREKOF MUSEUM ROSTOV on Don/Russia, in September 2011 as a member of AthensArt participated with other Artists in UNESCO Association`s Event dedicated to PEACE ,in Veakio open air Theater of Piraeus in Athens .
