Biography

Sara Tabeghanoon is an Iranian-born, Toronto-based artist whose practice explores colour, form, and spatial relationships through a multidisciplinary lens. Drawing from backgrounds in fine arts, graphic design, and interior design, her work moves between intuitive expression and structured composition, creating visual languages that investigate emotion, memory, and perception.

Tabeghanoon received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Azad University of Fine Art in Tehran and later completed an Advanced Diploma in Interior Design in Toronto. Her work has been exhibited internationally across Canada, Italy, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, and Iran, including exhibitions at the MIIT Museum in Turin and Contemporary Art Gallery Online. Her practice continues to evolve through an ongoing exploration of materiality, composition, and visual dialogue.

Artist’s Statement

My work explores memory, displacement, and the emotional landscapes that exist between presence and absence. Through painting, collage, and drawing, I create layered compositions built from fragments of personal history—shapes, symbols, textures, and impressions gathered from lived experience and carried across time and place.

Working through abstraction, I investigate the spaces between what is remembered, what is lost, and what remains. Layering, obscuring, and reconstructing materials become acts of transformation, where fragments emerge, disappear, and reassemble into new forms.

Diptychs often appear in my practice as a way of holding opposing emotional states simultaneously: stillness and disruption, intimacy and distance, containment and release. These divided spaces create visual conversations between interior and exterior worlds, reflecting the complexity of personal transformation and the shifting nature of belonging.

Rooted in autobiography yet intentionally open-ended, my work invites viewers to enter through their own experiences—finding meaning within fragments, gestures, and traces left behind.
