Nikta Hashemian

My art bridges activism and visual expression to challenge, inspire, and engage viewers with the issues I hold close to my heart. Through vibrant colors and dynamic compositions, I create art that reflects both our social and environmental responsibilities. Some of my works are deeply influenced by my Iranian roots. I am inspired by Persian culture and mythology and incorporate them in my works to highlight the richness of my heritage while addressing the contemporary struggles faced by Iranian Women. By combining traditional motifs with modern themes of resistance, I aim to bring visibility to the challenges Iranian Women endure under a totalitarian regime, while honoring the depth of Persian history and storytelling. I hope to bridge the gap between past and present, culture and activism, creating a space where these stories can spark meaningful dialogue. In my environmental pieces, I explore the relationship between humanity and the natural world, demonstrating our environment as a living entity that is receptive and aware of our actions. I take a surrealistic approach, blending reality with dreamlike elements to create otherworldly atmosphere. I use bold, vibrant colors to make nature feel alive, and by distorting familiar landscapes and natural forms, I challenge viewers to see the world differently, inspiring them to rethink their connection to the earth.
