About

Sorour Fattahi

Hey! Thank you for stopping by!

My name is Sorour, and I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Brisbane, Australia.

Born in Tehran, I first migrated to Australia in 2003. After 8 years, I moved to the UK in 2011. Following years of living in different countries, I finally decided to return to Australia and proudly call it my forever home in 2023. 

My works reflect my experiences as a migrant female artist who has lived in various countries, immersed in different cultures, and learned different languages.

I am interested in concepts such as identity, self-image, mental well-being, and the sense of belonging. The inspirations for my works come from tales, stories, and everyday life experiences. I incorporate various media and techniques in my creative journey.

With three master’s degrees in art and experience in both international group and solo exhibitions, my artworks have found homes in private collections in Canada, Australia, and the UK.
