"Picture this: threads weaving memories, patterns echoing the past and a world of stories told through vibrant textiles. That’s the magic of Fariba Boroufar’s art. Born in Tehran, the Iranian artist puts a modern spin on traditional Kilim weaving, blending the time-honoured craft with her passion for Iranian architecture and culture, resulting in work that feels both deeply personal yet universal.
What’s more, her pieces are more than just beautiful – on a mission to preserve and celebrate the rich traditions of her homeland, they’re layered with meaning, reflecting the fading beauty of historical structures and the fast-paced modernity that often overshadows them."
