Niloufar Fallahfar is an Iranian interdisciplinary artist based in the United States. She received her MFA in Studio Art from Michigan State University in 2026. Working across sculptural painting, installation, and architecture-inspired forms, her practice investigates collective memory, cultural inheritance, and the construction of historical narratives.
Drawing from Persian architectural history, mythology, and conceptual approaches to abstraction, Fallahfar creates works that extend painting into three-dimensional space. Through these forms, she invites viewers to physically navigate shifting relationships between memory and forgetting, visibility and concealment, history and the present.
Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, First Street Gallery in New York, and Galerie Nouchine Pahlevan in Paris. Recent honors include the Varg-Sullivan Graduate Award in Arts & Letters, the Ovissi Foundation Artistic Program Award, the Asian Art Community Award, and an ArtPrize Artist Seed Grant.
