Her
Maliheh (Mali) Zafarnezhad is a practiced Irish-Iranian artist in Fine Art, Painting and Mixed Media with more than a decade of dedicated experience. She is a resident of Arts Gateway MK (Art Central), and hold M.A. academic degree in History of Art and Architecture.
Having worked and lived in different countries (Ireland, Germany, Iran, UK), she has been exposed to diverse artistic, cultural and professional communities through school teaching, art exhibiting, and as gallery assistant, curator, filmmaker, editor and graphic designer in the Dublin National College of Art & Design, University of Limerick, The Occupy Spacy Gallery in Ireland, and Art Central MK.
She has spent most of her life in a country that she was forced to navigate a web of restrictions, imposed by law and custom as a woman. Hence, most of her artworks are dominated by portraits of women filled with thought provoking messages about love, feelings, loyalty, obligations, and social issues.
