Mahfam Barzegarpour (b. 1994, Tehran) is a Birmingham-based visual artist and MA Fine Art student at Birmingham School of Art. Working through biomorphic abstraction, her practice explores colour, emotion, spirituality, memory, and invisible structures through painting.
Her work moves between the personal and the collective, drawing on organic forms, cosmic imagery, contemporary events, and emotional experience. Through layered processes using oil, ink, acrylic, texture, and transparent materials, she creates fluid compositions guided by intuition and research. Influenced by ideas surrounding interconnectedness, healing, and transformation, her paintings investigate how colour and abstraction can express experiences that cannot always be represented directly.
Her practice approaches painting as a space for reflection, emotional resonance, and connection between inner experience and wider social, spiritual, and cultural realities.
