The paintings of Shahrzad Ghaffari are inspired by ancient Persian poetry and channel mysticism into a new visual language. Her work explores the metaphysics of love, where human union touches the divine.
As a member of the Ghaffari family which sired such Persian masters as Sani-ol-Molk and Kamal-ol-Molk Ghaffari, Shahrzad continues a family tradition spanning 150 years.
Devoted to painting from an early age, Sharhrzad has exhibited in cities as far afield as Kuching, Malaysia and Vancouver, Canada. Her first solo show in 2011 opened to critical acclaim at Tehran’s Golestan Gallery followed by solo exhibitions at Paris’s Galerie Nicolas Flamel, London’s Grovesnor Galllery and Dubai’s Jamm Gallery alongside a host of international group shows.
Her works have been privately acquired by collectors worldwide. She divides her time between Iran and Canada.
