Mahfam Barzegarpour (b. 1994, Tehran) is a Birmingham based visual artist and MA Fine Art student at Birmingham School of Art. Her practice is rooted in biomorphic abstraction and explores colour as both material and language.
Her work moves between the microscopic and the cosmic, drawing on forms inspired by cells, neural structures, and organic systems. Through layered processes in oil, ink, acrylic, and texture, she creates fluid compositions guided by intuition and emotion.
At the centre of her practice is an investigation into colour — how it can create movement, depth, and atmosphere, while holding emotional and spiritual meaning. Her paintings explore the unseen, using colour and form to express what cannot be directly represented.
Her work sits between intuition and research, approaching painting as a way to connect inner experience with wider, invisible structures.
