Read MoreMozhdeh Zandieh-Grayson is an Iranian-born, Dubai-based visual artist whose practice has been shaped by experiences across different languages and cultural landscapes. Born in Tehran, lived and educated in the UK, and now based in the UAE, these distinct environments have fostered a heightened sensitivity to the ways memory, language, and place influence perception and our relationship with the world around us.
After earning a BA in Graphic Design, she established a career in design before pursuing an MFA in Fine Art at the University for the Creative Arts, UK, graduating with Distinction in 2020. Over time, her practice shifted from design towards a material-led exploration of contemporary art, where making became a process of thinking through matter itself.
Working across sculpture, installation, artist books, drawing, and mixed media, Mozhdeh investigates the poetic potential of materials and their capacity to shape perception. Through processes of collecting, assembling, casting, and repetition, she creates contemplative works that invite moments of stillness, revealing the unfamiliar within the familiar.
