Biography

Parvaneh Etemadi was born in 1948 in Tehran, and she was raised in Birjand in South Khorasan province, Iran.

She attended the University of Tehran in the Department of Fine Art, but did not graduate. She was mentored in painting under Bahman Mohasses, and is considered his only direct student.

Her first solo exhibition was in 1969 at Ghandriz Gallery [Wikidata] in Tehran; and between 1967 and 1977, she regularly showed her work there alongside other artists working in the modernism movement. She has publicly said she does not like to be labeled as a 'woman artist' or as a 'feminist artist', and believes her work resonates more with the, "agony and ecstasy of poetry". In 2019, Tarrahan Azad Gallery in Tehran held a retrospective of her work.

Etemidi sat in front of Bahman Kiarostami's camera for eight months in order to film a documentary about her named, Parvaneh (2020). Her work is in the public museum collection at the British Museum in London, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
