Biography

Maryam (Maya) Tohidi is an Iranian-born multimedia artist, who has lived and worked in Iran, Canada, UK and the US. Like her  personal journey across continents and cultures, her artistic process pulls from different disciplines, often blurring boundaries of different mediums. Her work is exploratory, personal and reflective. The use of culturally significant artifacts - such as rugs - and objects with a previous life, infuse Tohidi’s work with a melancholic beauty, while layering memories, poetry, letters and journals make them deeply personal. Maryam's artwork often reflects on the challenges as well as the growth opportunities of immigration and living between different cultures.
