Niloufar Fallahfar is an Iranian artist currently pursuing her MFA in Studio Art at Michigan State University (expected 2026). Her work explores themes of identity, memory, and socio-political challenges in Iran. By merging three-dimensional sculptural elements with painting, she pushes the boundaries of traditional painting, delving into abstract yet figurative forms that symbolize cultural resistance and personal narratives.

Holding a Diploma in Graphic Design and a B.A in Painting from Sooreh University in Tehran, Niloufar has cultivated a profound artistic foundation through practical and theoretical studies.

Niloufar has exhibited her work in nationally and internationally renowned venues. She has held solo exhibitions at Gallery 101 at Michigan State University and Bavan Gallery in Tehran, Iran. Her paintings were recently selected for the Art in the Legislature program at Michigan’s Capitol and showcased in Paris, where she received recognition for her innovative techniques. Her work has also gained acclaim at various art festivals in Iran, including the 6th Damunfar Visual Arts Festival.

Dedicated to fostering the next generation of artists, Niloufar has been teaching painting since 2016. Her practice reflects a deep engagement with art history and a commitment to innovation, addressing the complexities of cultural and socio-political narratives while reimagining the possibilities within contemporary art.
