Elham is an Iranian artist born in 1985,based in Brussels. Elham’s chief inspiration comes from nature – she began her career as an earth scientist, and for her, there is no barrier between art and science. As she says, nature is the first thing which you can know and explore by yourself.
As in the Persian literature which represents a strong source of influence for Elham, objects carry their own philosophy. Elham uses these objects to communicate with her audience, inviting them to notice how they relate to their own ideas of the world. In this way, art can extend beyond what is merely present. Artists are gatekeepers to mysterious worlds, worlds otherwise closed to view.
