Niusha Khanmohammadi

I am a Swedish artist of Iranian descent. Self-taught, I have been painting since childhood and embarked on my artistic career in 2019 while living in Sarajevo. Going on, I have exhibited my work during the following year in Istanbul. Using watercolour, acrylic and ink on paper and canvas, my abstract pieces have a distinctive expressionism style, while my portraits often highlight nuanced forms and shapes, with an emphasis on capturing female contemplation and body language, through elegant lines and playful use of colour.

My mixed heritage represents a nexus of syntheses and tensions that inspire and find expression in my art. Exploring the cultural, linguistic, and socio-historic forces that underpin the formation of community identity, my output has been further shaped by my work on gender equality in seven different countries for the United Nations and the European Union in the field of gender equality.

Despite these preoccupations, I seek to foreground the emotive aspects of my work, believing it is this that best equips and compels the viewer to engage with its subtexts in a visceral and fundamentally meaningful way.

Constantly on the move, having called many different places home over the past few years, I seek to capture the essential communal identities and intercultural dialogue that underpins the many interwoven layers of shared arts, language and history she encounters.
