Leila Samari

Leila Samari, who is an Iranian artist living in Vienna, has a bachelor’s degree in graphic design from Tehran University of Art and Architecture. She immigrated to Austria in 2017. From 2001 onwards, she has had many solo and group exhibitions of her paintings in Iran and Austria. The pictures, stories, and poems that Leila has created are a narrative of experiences and feelings, dreams, and nightmares that she has experienced herself and that emerge unconsciously in her works. The artist uses portraits and human figures, sometimes combining them symbolically with animals to complete her narratives.
