Parisa Falakodin

Parisa Falakodin

Parisa was interested in art since childhood and until her adolescence she seriously pursued various arts such as music, calligraphy, poetry and theater. After entering university and studying architecture and then urban design at the master's level, she was seriously engaged in working and teaching in these fields for about ten years, but despite her success in her academic field, she always knew that her main interest was visual art. Therefore, she took a break from her professional career and devoted all her time to learning and finding her path in art. For about the past five years, she has been working as an independent artist in the field of sculpture.
