Fatemeh Hosseini is an Iranian visual artist and filmmaker whose interdisciplinary practice spans painting, printmaking, and film. Her work explores memory, identity, and the emotional experience of displacement—drawing on transitional states such as migration, cultural dislocation, and generational shift.

Time in her work is felt as a poetic and nonlinear force, deeply rooted in both personal and collective memory. Her current painting series, The Wind, reflects on the emotional terrain of migration, using egg tempera and acrylic to evoke the tactile essence of place and recollection.

Trained as a painter and sculptor in Tehran, and now based in the U.S., Hosseini bridges visual traditions within these two distinct cultures through introspective storytelling. Her work has been exhibited in the U.S. and internationally, and has been featured in New American Paintings (Issue No. 172, 2024). In 2025, she was awarded Best in Show at the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art’s juried exhibition A Sense of Place. She has received multiple awards for her short films, which often echo the same poetic visual language as her paintings.

Hosseini holds a BFA and MFA in Painting from Tehran and Alzahra University in Iran respectively, and an MA in Motion Media from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), where she currently teaches film and storyboarding.
