Niloufar Fallahfar is an Iranian artist based in the United States and an MFA candidate in Studio Art at Michigan State University (expected 2026). Her practice centers on sculptural painting, where painting expands into three-dimensional, architectural forms. Through structures such as domes, spirals, thresholds, and Möbius-like spaces, her work explores memory, fragmentation, and the instability of narrative.

Drawing from Persian architectural history and contemporary abstraction, Fallahfar creates works that invite bodily movement and shifting perspectives. Rather than presenting fixed images, her paintings function as environments that ask viewers to navigate inside and outside, surface and depth, visibility and concealment.

Alongside her studio practice, she is an Instructor of Record in Drawing, Color and Design, and Three-Dimensional Form. Her work has been exhibited internationally and across the United States, including national juried exhibitions, institutional galleries, and biennials. Fallahfar’s practice exists at the intersection of painting, sculpture, and pedagogy, treating art-making as both a spatial and critical inquiry.
