Negin Fallah Iranian , b. 1985

biography

Negin Fallahmoghadami (b. 1985, Iran) is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Rome, Italy. Her practice spans painting, drawing, and printmaking, shaped by academic studies in graphic design, interior design, and printmaking, and deepened by nearly two decades of living and working across cultures.

Drawing from literature, human behavior, and the psychology of inner transformation, her work explores the essential contrasts that define human experience: isolation and belonging, renewal and decay, presence and absence. She understands these tensions not as obstacles but as necessary forces, the very conditions through which growth becomes possible.

Her imagery reflects emotional landscapes where vulnerability meets resilience, hope surfaces through despair, and chaos opens space for clarity. Inspired by the rhythms of nature and the cycles of universal law, day and night, seasonal shifts, desert and sea, she finds in the external world a mirror for our inner lives. Contrast, in her practice, is not conflict. It is a call to awareness.

At the heart of her work is a search for what remains when the familiar falls away: the quiet strength revealed through rupture, the luminous potential awakened when we are cracked open to something new. Through painting, she invites viewers into a shared unfolding, one that connects personal reflection with collective experience, and the particular with the universal.

Her work has been presented internationally, with selected exhibitions including Corner MAXXI, Rome; Casa della Cultura, Rome; Firetti Contemporary, UAE; Espace Saint-Remi, Bordeaux; HUB Kuwait, Kuwait; Iwan Maktabi, Beirut; and 392RMEIL393, Beirut.

This series is inspired by an oral myth of pastoral nomads, the Qashqai people, a conglomeration of clans in Iran who are renowned for their pile carpets and other woven wool products. Through these symbolic narratives the significance of women as a source of life, and how they are intuitively altruistic have been deliberately indicated. As likely as numerous mythological ideologies by indigenous around the globe. However, having this notion resulted in a set of ideas about women’s roles in society. Sort of unrealistic societal expectations that tend to define a positional role of females as whether a daughter, a sister, a wife and most importantly a mother. Moreover, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, women achieved significant progress in economically progressive areas while in developing areas women remain subjugated or even are stripped of any human rights. Where women heaven inferior social status by customary or formal law, exploitation and outright violence are yet considered to be accepted. Breath of Kilim is to highlight the women of faith those who have been historically playing a pivotal role in challenging gender inequality, and those who continue to defy stereotypes in politics, and societies.
