About

I’m Donya Fazelnia, born in Tehran, Iran, on July 23, 1995. Sculpting has
been my artistic journey, and I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture
from the Art University of Tehran (2014-2019). Since 2019, I’ve proudly
been a member of the Iranian Sculptors Association, contributing to the
dynamic Iranian art scene.
My sculptures have traveled worldwide, making an impact at events like
the HUMAN RIGHTS ART FESTIVAL in North Dakota (2023) and the
NOXTE lll-KUNSTQUARTIERS BETHANIEN STUDIO 1 in Berlin,
Germany (2019). Notable galleries, such as SHIRIN GALLERY and
AARAN PROJECTS in Tehran , have showcased my work.
I work with diverse materials, from ceramic and cement to resin and
bronze. My sculptures delve into profound philosophical reflections,
challenging societal norms and exploring personal struggles. Pieces like
“Fragile” and “Lack of Motivation” provoke thought on societal
expectations, while “Instincts” delves into the intrinsic nature of mankind
and the societal leash on one’s id.
Teaching and creating with clay are my passions, emphasizing the
boundless potential of formless clay for creative expression.
In 2022, I had the honor of being interviewed by landEscape art review
magazine.
Looking ahead, I envision a future where art transcends limitations,
allowing my creativity to speak across different mediums. For me, art is a
free expression, unrestricted by conventional categories or mediums.
