Maliheh Yousefi

I am a Swedish-Iranian contemporary artist based in Stockholm. Having moved from Iran to Sweden, themes of displacement, identity, womanhood, and emotional presence deeply influence my work.
Working primarily in mixed media, I create emotionally charged paintings that balance intimacy, sensuality, vulnerability, and strength. My practice is rooted in intuition and expressive mark-making, combining figurative elements with abstraction, texture, and layered symbolism.

Rather than focusing on perfection or narrative realism, my work explores atmosphere, tension, memory, and the emotional spaces that exist beneath language. Many of my pieces reflect the complexity of female experience, desire, visibility, and belonging through a deeply personal and diasporic lens.

I completed the Mastery Program at Milan Art Institute and I am a member of Society of Professional Artists (SOPA), an exclusive professional artist community.

My work was exhibited at ART3F Paris in September 2025.
