Biography

Sanam Sayehafkan (b. 1989, Rasht, Iran)
Sayehafkan constructs lush, illusionary worlds where vibrant colors, precise lines,
and surreal compositions invite viewers into a hypnotic narrative without resolution.
Her works thrive on ambiguity, blending familiarity with the uncanny to provoke
personal interpretation.

Her remarkable part of my work is Hyper-saturated palettes (electric blues, acid
greens) clash or merge with razor-sharp lines, creating tension between chaos and

control. Influences may include Persian miniature intricacy fused with pop surrealism. The artist deliberately avoids closure, urging viewers to project their

own stories onto the canvas.

"I paint doors without keys. Walk through, but don’t ask me where they lead—your
shadows will shape the walls."
