Elham Etemadi’s vibrant paintings emerge from a place of imaginative storytelling, where dreamlike colors, symbolic forms, and playful composition converge. Her work often includes autobiographical and fantastical motifs—women, animals, flowers, and whimsical objects—that reflect her experience as a female immigrant navigating memory and identity. She describes her practice as a visual “game of color” that merges Eastern visual traditions with contemporary expression—creating emotional resonance across cultures.
