Nazanin Moradi is a London-based multidisciplinary artist working across painting, digital art, body painting, and performance. She holds a Master’s degree in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art, UAL (2016) and has exhibited internationally in the UK, EU, Asia and USA.
Her work explores the body as a vessel of transformation, suspended in motion between worlds; between past and future, dream and reality, self and higher self. Investigating the body’s relationship with circular spaces, she creates liminal portals where movement becomes a ritual of convergence, allowing figures to shift between timelines and meet alternate versions of themselves.
Through fluid and soft expressive techniques, Moradi captures the vulnerability and resilience of the human form, dissolving the boundaries between abstraction and figuration. By using the body as both subject and material, she highlights themes of empowerment, resistance, and matrix reality. Her compositions evoke a dreamlike sense of motion, where figures blur, distort, and merge with their surroundings, creating tension between the seen and unseen, disclosure and concealment.
