Maryam Ego-Aguirre

One of the most polarizing, and thought provoking photographers of our generation; Maryam Ego-aguirre is not your conventional artist. Her work is a voyage through time, space, and the study of raw human emotion. Nothing lasts forever, but with one glance at Maryam’s images, time is no longer a variable. Maryam Ego-aguirre’s work is boundless, without restraint, and limitless in its possibilities to transform its observer. Maryam opens a window into which people and nature merge seamlessly, without boundaries.

A glimpse into the past with an imprint on the present



Maryam Ego-aguirre was born in New Haven, CT in 1975, to an Iranian Mother, and an Iraqi Father. Being the only child of immigrants she developed a taste for eclectic places and people at a very early age. She studied at The School of Visual Arts in NYC and received a BFA in 2002.

Caught between two worlds has greatly influenced Maryam’s work; her Eastern heritage comes through in the exotic beauty of her photographs, and her vision is defined by surrealism. The surrealism in her work is like a thread that weaves itself through the tapestry of her work, it is an extension of who she is, and the inner battle she carries with her - nurture vs. nature.
