Iran
Sarvin Haghighi
Born in Iran 1979 in the midst of the Iranian revolution, Sarvin Haghighi
experienced both great joys and harsh challenges from an early age. The
privilege and independence of her early childhood quickly gave way to
war and oppression. To fulfill the human need for self-expression, Sarvin
took to art as a young girl.
While working at her easel Sarvin captures cherished childhood
memories, honors the timeless traditions of her people, and comments
on the social, political, and cultural dimensions of women’s experiences
in contemporary Middle Eastern society.
As an adult, Sarvin has become a global citizen, leaving Tehran for Dubai
and eventually Chicago. While passion for her Persian roots provides
continual inspiration for the young artist, it is her cross-cultural exposure
that provides universal subtext to her work. From her beginning as a
single censored voice, Sarvin Haghighi’s art now amplifies the powerful
voices of many the world over who long for peace and freedom.
