About Mahfam Barzegarpour
There is a childhood video of Mahfam Barzegarpour at the age of nine, being asked what she wants to be when she grows up. Without hesitation, she replies, "a painter." That early sense of purpose has continued to shape her journey ever since.
Mahfam is a UK-based visual artist whose practice centres on biomorphic abstraction. Her work explores emotional and spiritual experiences through fluid forms, intuitive mark-making, layered textures, and mixed media. She seeks to give visual presence to the unseen—to feelings and energies that are often hard to express in words.
She holds a BA in Fine Art from Birmingham City University and will begin her MA in Fine Art at the same institution in September 2025.
Beyond painting, Mahfam is passionate about curating, creative education, and textile design—three areas through which she continues to explore how art can connect, inspire, and evolve.
