Painting collections

Bodies of work from the birds of Rumi’s tales to the women of her own city. Each one opens to every canvas, its story and where it has been shown.

My work grows out of Persian culture. Every canvas is a page from my personal and spiritual life.
Giti Norouzian

Across disciplines

Painting beside drawing, printmaking, photography, and two decades of scholarship on Persian manuscripts.
