Diba
Born 1980 in Tehran, studied Bachelor of Textile Practice at Metropolitan University in Cardiff. I studied painting and sculpture in Iran and Moscow and currently live and work in the U.K. I exhibited my work in different galleries in Iran, Moscow and England, but I never like the fact that artists just hanging their work on the walls or piece of sculpture on a pedestal and waiting for viewer to come and support the exhibition. After studying textile, I decided to use costumes as canvas and the gallery that can move around and can be seen by more viewers even people who never go to the galleries. So, I mix different cultural and historic symbols and traditions with modern print and painting together. My costumes are original and made from 100% natural fabrics.
