Niaz Babatabar (b. 1985, Babol, Iran) is a painter based in Tehran. She is a graduate of Painting from Azad University’s Faculty of Art and Architecture (BA, Tehran, 2008), and Tarbiat Modares University (MA, Tehran, 2013). In her work, she explores personal, familial and collective histories, memories, belongings, perspectives and how they are remembered in the present. Taking an openly poetic approach to painting and composition, she depicts alternative worlds created with the materials she surveys over the course of her research before starting work.
