Who is Noreen Motamed?

Noreen Motamed is a Persian painter.

Daughter of Fereydoun Motamed, she was born in Abadan, Iran and attended primary and secondary school in Tehran and graduated in first place from University of Tehran with a B.A. degree in Arts. She continued her postgraduate studies and once again graduated in first place from Alzahra University with a Master of Arts degree with concentration in painting. She began painting as a professional artist in 1983. Starting with a figurative art style she then turned to a synthesis of abstraction and figuration, depicting Persian female rug and kilim weavers or humans and nature. Persian miniatures have been great sources of inspiration in her latest paintings which are depictions of Modern Iranian in traditional spaces. She has continued this style while in U.S.A. with a western influence as it appears in some of her abstract figurative 2 collection. In 2008 her latest work reveals a romantic touch that is added to her paintings.
