Yalda Foroughmand Arabi

Yalda Foroughmand Arabi (b. Tehran, Iran) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Yalda uses allegorical and introspective narratives to acknowledge and preserve the links that tie her cultural heritage to the land as a way to promote reconciliation and healing. Recurring themes of freedom and escape, grief, boundaries, cycles, and the interconnectedness of all life are explored in the layered otherworldly landscapes.

Yalda Foroughmand Arabi graduated with a BFA in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design. Her recent work has been shown in ‘Game Over’ at Soloway Gallery, ‘Identity Politics’ at AIR Gallery, and in several online and in-person exhibits at Paradice Palase.
