”The connection between me, my works and the people who look at them is, for me, the most important thing. It is like a game of ping-pong: when someone tells me that they were moved by it, that they were able to enter another universe, I feel that I have succeeded in creating a connection.”
Sepideh Barazandehdoost is an Iranian visual artist based in Paris. Her expressive paintings combine textures, natural materials and found objects, which she sees as carrying stories and energy. A former founder of an art school in Iran, she advocates for an accessible artistic practice in which creating can become a time for focus, meditation and connection with oneself. For her, art fully comes to life when it opens a sensitive dialogue between the work and those who encounter it.
