Samira Alikhanzadeh started painting in 1987 under the supervision of the Iranian Master Aydin Aghdashloo. Two years later, she attended Tehran’s Azad University where she continued to complete her MA in painting.
Alikhanzadeh uses old found photographs. By using mirror, she manages the viewers’ own presence in the work. In addition to her main tools of mirrors and acrylic, she is also keen on using real carpets in some of her works.
She has taken part in over 30 exhibitions and art fairs since 1995. In addition to her works being part of important private collections worldwide, two works from her Carpet series were acquired by LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) in 2010.
