Mandana Bonakdar

Mandana Bonakdar, born in Iran in 1980, is an Iranian-American artist currently living in Orange County, California. She earned her Master’s degree in IT Management from the University of Manchester and worked for several years as a university lecturer and researcher before fully dedicating herself to the arts.

Mandana specializes in realism and hyperrealism, capturing delicate emotions and vivid moments with exceptional precision. Her paintings have been featured twice in Wall Journal, and she was awarded first place in the United States in 2022. Four of her works are included in the prestigious Hill Museum collection.

As an Iranian-American woman, Mandana’s work is deeply influenced by her heritage and life journey. Each piece reflects her artistic vision, exploring identity, resilience, and the subtle beauty of human experience.
