Nasim Yazdani

Artist Biography

Nasim Yazdani is a globally inspired visual artist whose work bridges cultural boundaries and celebrates diversity and inclusivity. Born with a deep curiosity about the world, Nasim views Earth as her country and art as her universal language. Since her childhood, Nasim Yazdani discovered her passion for painting and pursued non-formal art education at different art institutes, which led to formal fine art studies and establishing a lifetime career in the visual arts. Her works have been showcased in many solo and group exhibitions across the globe, including Iran, Türkiye, France, Italy, and the UK. In 2024, Nasim was awarded the People’s Choice Award (Best in Show) at the Doncaster Open Art Exhibition. In 2025, she participated in a group exhibition at the heart of London, and her artwork was showcased at Euro Expo Art, edition 9. Additionally, she made it through to the Jackson’s Art Prize 2025 extended long-list. In March 2025, her collection, The Essence, was awarded as a finalist in the Create (Art, Professional) category of London International Creative Competition (2024).

As a new member of the New Bath Arts Club (NBAC), Nasim engages with a vibrant community of artists and will be exhibiting alongside other established creatives in Bath every year. Additionally, Nasim is collaborating with the Persian Manuscripts Association, exploring the intersection of contemporary art and Persian cultural heritage. Both of these significant endeavours offer Nasim exciting opportunities for growth, collaboration, and new artistic expression.

Beyond exhibitions, Nasim strives to spark meaningful conversations through her art, encouraging viewers to reflect on shared human experiences and the urgent need for unity. Acrylic paint is her medium of choice, allowing her to layer vibrant textures that mirror the complexity of human emotion and experience.
