About Shervin

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.
