Roxana Manouchehri

Roxana Manouchehri (Persian: رکسانا منوچهری, born Tehran, Iran 1976) is an Iranian visual artist.[1][2] Through her work, Manouchehri generally focuses on her surroundings and its essential aspects. Although many Iranians’ lifestyles appear modern, they are still governed largely by conventional, religious attitudes. She addresses the gap of nature and form found between modernism and tradition. She has an M.A. in Painting from the Art University Tehran, Iran, 2001, and a B.A. in Painting from the same university, 1997.
