Selected works covering abstraction, Persian miniature, and political memory
Artist working between structure, memory, and movement.
Shervin
is a London-based Iranian painter and engineer whose practice
moves between Persian miniature, abstraction, and contemporary
political memory.
Shaped by lived experience of repression, censorship, homophobia,
exile, and forced migration, his work examines how power marks the
body, regulates identity, and attempts to control visibility.
Combining structural precision with expressive disruption, he
builds layered compositions where inherited visual systems are
preserved, fractured, and reimagined. Drawing on the symbolic
language of Persian art, his paintings use fragmentation,
inversion, and selective colour to confront erasure, violence, and
displacement.
Rooted in loss but not defined by it, the work holds space for
resilience, return, and renewal. Rather than documenting trauma,
it transforms memory into a contemporary visual language of
resistance, continuity, and hope.
