Laleh Memar Ardestani is an Iranian artist.
Born in 1972 in Tehran, Iran, she has a diploma in technical and vocational high school in the field of visual communication and graphic design, and a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design and Visual Communication (University of Art and Architecture), Central Branch, Tehran. Between 1997 and 2004, after immigrating to the United Kingdom, she continued her studies in art by attending short courses in life drawing, illustration, and printing.
Over the past 15 years she lives and works in Tehran and has exhibited her works extensively in her hometown individually and in groups, as well as internationally and privately in her personal studio.She has also been selected and exhibited for the largest contemporary print fair (WCPF) in London, England, as the only Iranian artist in the years 2017, 2018, and 2019.
The main focus of her work, according to the rules of creation, is a modern, contemporary and minimalist style based on spiritual attitude. The human figure and plants are beautiful manifestations of an organic and majestic nature, and are ultimately inspiring. Looking at and paying attention to these objects in various ways has been, and is, an important concern for the artist to be able to cultivate in her mind what she needs to create.
