About Me
Farnaz Battikhi, is a Canadian-Iranian painter and miniaturist. Born in Tehran, Iran, to a Persian mother and a Jordanian father, she lived a life of multiculturalism and travel. She has participated in several exhibitions around the world, from Africa, Asia, the Middle-East and North America.
Surrounded from childhood with the poetry of Rumi, Sa’di and Hafez, and reading the marvelous tales of the heroic warriors and fox-eyed princesses of the Shahnameh, the gold-gilded books many of these poems and stories came in had intricate, delicate and colorful miniatures accompanying them, which lent an air of divinity and sacredness to both the stories and the art.
WORKS OF ART
I want to show as much of Persian culture and art as possible through my work and introduce Persian art to the public. I’d like to infuse elements of my Jordanian and Arab heritage into my art as well and share that in Iran and the rest of the world too.
I consistently felt the need to shed some light and share enough of the similarities for people to know that we are more alike than different. Art, poetry, literature, these beautiful things are for the masses and are for all of us. I’d like to think that I can bring peace and harmony through my art and on my canvas.
