ABOUT

Mahsa Parvizi, born in 1993 in Iran, currently lives and works in Dresden, Germany. She received her BA in Visual Communication from Shariati Technical University in Iran and began her studies in Fine Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden in 2024. Parvizi is a multidisciplinary artist who works across a range of media, including painting, installation, and printmaking. Her practice is deeply rooted in historical events, using photographs and screenshots as remnants to construct narratives that interrogate their authenticity. She seeks to challenge the viewer’s understanding of these images by deconstructing and reassembling them, removing their connections to past, future, and original contexts. This process prompts viewers to reflect critically on the nature of reality itself.

Parvizi’s work strongly engages with ideological structures, their deviations, and the dynamics of power. She particularly focuses on violence and its complex relationship with both humanity and history. Her works have been exhibited in group shows, including “Sight and Insight” at Bavan Gallery in Tehran (2021), and she participated in a modern art group exhibition at the Ahvaz Museum of Contemporary Art (2013). Parvizi also received the Mohsen Projects Grant for her work “The Father”, which was displayed at Mohsen Gallery in Tehran in 2020.
