About Frooza Clarke

Frooza Clarke won a scholarship to study Art in London obtaining degrees in Graphic Design and Fine Art painting. Her general ideas based on memory or personal themes such as identity are mainly the starting point of her work, often grouped in themes but each work must possess it's own separate character and existence as metaphorical indications of her deeper purpose in the painting. She uses Oil / tempera, collage or relief type mixed media on canvas or board. Frooza was born in South west Iran but has lived and worked most her life in London as well as living for a period of time in Sydney and New York.
