Sepideh Salehi is an artist from Tehran, Iran, and currently works in New York. She uses a range of media, including drawing, painting, printmaking, and video. A lot of her work focuses on the role of women in society, including her Mohr Portrait and Women in the Street of Tehran series. One thing that I like about Salehi's work is her use of abstraction in portraits. She often abstracts the faces of her subjects using dynamic brushstrokes and shapes. Most of the women that she paints have their faces covered in some way, which is similar to what I am doing in my work. The role of women in Iran is very different than in the US, which is what I am familiar with, so I think that the content my work is somewhat different from hers, but I can definitely take inspiration from her work.
