Farzaneh Rezaei is an Iranian-Canadian visual artist, living and working in Montreal. She has completed master’s degree in visual and media art at Université du Québec à Montréal. Drawing plays a major role in her artistic practice and she has been exploring the experimental, intimate and expressive possibilities of this medium for years. The accessibility and simplicity of her means not only stay close to her daily activities and her nomadic life between Montreal and Iran, her country of origin, but also allows her to convey her perceptions of the world. Her ongoing series Ruptures speaks of her life experience as an immigrant as well as her fragmented life marked by multiple ruptures. Her choice of materials, which includes paper and natural pigment such as saffron, refers to her search for identity in Persian visual culture. In 2021, one of the drawings from the Ruptures series was acquired by the Musée national des beaux-artsdu Québec for the Collection Prêt d’oeuvres d’art.
