Mozhdeh Assefjah, who employs the egg tempera technique to create a tactile quality in her works, is known for her dynamic, flowing curves and bold, sensuous colors. She expresses landscapes as if viewed through a window, using her signature undulating lines—a style inspired by both Persian calligraphy, reflecting her cultural roots, and East Asian calligraphic traditions. Born in Iran, Assefjah moved to Germany with her family at a young age, embracing both Eastern and Western cultural heritages. She studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and has since exhibited extensively across Europe and Asia, including Germany, France, and the UK. Her works are part of prestigious collections in major institutions worldwide, such as the Museum of Modern Art in Munich , the Lenbachhaus Municipal Gallery—home to the world’s largest Blue Rider collection—, the Guangdong Museum of Art in China, and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, Switzerland. Each painting is to me a vision, a scene, a view. They are an invitation for the eye to look through a window opened to a nostalgic space. I use the traditional egg-temepera medium. My interest for the Italian Renaissance, be it technical and theoretical, is infused with the mystical beauty of the visual productions of Ancient Persia. The free gesture inscribes itself through wide ribbons that vary between dark and light colours. The flexibility of the movements and the strokes calls to mind Persian calligraphy. The spectator might sometimes see vegetal , floral, plant forms, which are quite visible in bold floral pattern of early carpet design and othertimes might see baroque drapery. The spaces are built by the dialectic between opacity and transparency, closeness and distance, putting layers over layers to construct the depth. I would like to tell stories of dreamed landscpes between abstraction and figuration. Artist Statement
