Anis Tabaraee stands out, surreal and arresting. She generally brings together ancient Persian visual language and contemporary urgency together to give a freshness in a way few artists manage.

She, has for example, mined motifs from Qajar-era aesthetics and Persian myth, then re-frames them, to speak of struggle, womanhood and resilience in today’s world.

Her process is inner-driven and slow: she layers texture, distorts form, and lets meaning emerge rather than imposing it. That deliberation gives her paintings a rare intensity.

What makes her particularly compelling for collectors and curators is this: she occupies a space of cultural depth and visual innovation, often within a surreal universe. Yet She is not simply reviving tradition, she’s examining it, transforming it, and more. All this gives her work both authenticity and forward-motion.
