About Mahfam Barzegarpour
Mahfam Barzegarpour (b. 1994, Tehran) is a Birmingham-based visual artist and current MA Fine Art student at the Birmingham School of Art. Her artistic journey began at the age of 11, when she studied realism under a professional fine art mentor — an experience that shaped her sensitivity to form, emotion, and the unseen.
Rooted in biomorphic abstraction and spirituality, Mahfam’s practice explores the invisible through fluid organic forms and layered processes in oil, ink, watercolor, and acrylic. She is currently experimenting with colour and materiality, allowing intuitive movement and emotion to guide her compositions.
During her BA Fine Art at Birmingham City University, Mahfam regularly exhibited in the school’s monthly student showcases and took part in the Final Year Degree Show (June 2025). Her work Dancing Botanicals was also featured on a digital billboard as part of the Inspired Festival 2025 and included in Birmingham’s Open 25: Public Exhibition on the Theme of Light at Victoria Square.
Her paintings and reflections on spirituality were featured in Artist Talk Magazine (Issue 38, July 2025).
She has exhibited in New Artist Fair (Truman Brewery, London, 2024), Surreal Horizons at The Holy Art Gallery (London, 2024), and Secret Space (Digbeth, Birmingham, 2024).
Recent highlights include a poster feature with Art Below at Regent’s Park Underground Station(October 2025) and an exhibition at Ad Lib Gallery, Wimbledon, London (October 2025).
Inspired by light, infinity, and the natural world, Mahfam creates contemplative spaces where emotion, faith, and spirit flow together.
