Sahar Khaleghi

I am Sahar Khaleghi, an Iranian artist now based in London.
My art passionately addresses the pressing concerns of my homeland, where gender inequality, human rights violations, and recurring executions persist.
My works have been exhibited in numerous countries around the world, including the UK, Germany,
Estonia, Greece, and China. In 2018, I was honoured with the Special Award at the International Gold Panda Cartoon and Illustration competition in China.
Recently, my art was featured prominently at the 52nd Belgrade Golden Pen Illustration Festival
exhibition, and has gained recognition in several international magazines.
Having grown up as a young woman in Iran under the cultural oppression of the current regime, I choose to weave modern and historical influences into my art, aiming to illuminate the experiences of women across cultures. Through my creations, I seek to convey powerful narratives that transcend borders, speaking to the challenges and triumphs of women worldwide.
