Ghazaal Nasiri (b. 1999, Shiraz, Iran) is a visual artist living and working in Oslo, Norway. She studied for her bachelor's degree in painting at the Shiraz University of Arts in Iran and received an M.F.A. at the National Academy of Arts in Oslo.
Ghazaal’s artistic practice is rooted in drawing, embroidery, and traditional craftsmanship, often merging mythical storytelling with personal history. Through her work, she explores themes of cultural memory, psychological trauma, and the lingering effects of suppressed emotion. These themes often emerge instinctively, shaped by the materials she chooses and the slow, repetitive gestures of making. As an Iranian immigrant, myth is not only a reference from her upbringing but also a framework through which she navigates and expresses the complexities of identity, silence, and loss in the present.
