Maryam Ahi

“I was born in 1987 in Sary, Iran and I studied Graphic Design as my major in university. I started my activities as a Sculptor in 2009 by self-learning and I have been focusing on making sculptures from different materials in recent years.
Most of my sculptures are figurative and the subjects of my works are humans who are scrambling to get some knowledge about the world and themselves.
I have attended several international symposiums and group exhibitions around the world. My solo exhibition was held in Tehran (E1 Art Gallery) in 2016, and also several of my sculptures have been installed in a number of cities in Iran, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy.
I got second place in international contemporary sculpture in Iran (Padideh) 2014, the Special prize in International wood sculpture symposium in Italy (Castello Tesino) 2017, and received a Biafarin prize in NordArt 2017″
