MARYAM DEYHIM

  • Maryam Deyhim is a contemporary artist whose work has been exhibited internationally across the UK, Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Asia. Her exhibitions include the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, the Royal Academy of Arts in London, the Royal West of England Academy in Bristol, Mall Galleries in London, and the Alexandria Museum of Art in Louisiana. She is the recipient of multiple awards, including the RBSA Judd Medical Third Prize and several American Art Awards, and has been shortlisted and recognized in a range of juried exhibitions, including a highly commended distinction in the Ashurst Emerging Artist Prize. Her practice reflects sustained engagement with painting, drawing, and visual storytelling.

    Her work seeks to illuminate both the visible and the elusive, the known and the unknowable. Through layered mark making, balanced composition, and subtle disruption, she invites viewers into a contemplative space where meaning is not prescribed but discovered. For Maryam, painting is a way of holding clarity and mystery in the same moment, offering an experience that is grounded, open, and resonant.
