My story

My name is Firoozeh Soltan Zadeh and I am a Persian-Portuguese Illustrator. I was born in 1987 in the south-east of Iran in a city that is famous for having people in love with cats and art. The most amazing carpets and hand-painted ceramics during the history of Iran belonged to that region.

I grew up in a family where animals and books always had a special place. We were also connected to nature. My mother's artworks and spirit for all those beauties mainly influenced my painting since I was a child. The love that I had for animals and painting led me to study biology in university and in parallel with that lots of activities in painting and illustration.

I was awarded in different national illustration competitions in Iran, illustrating a book, small exhibitions, and illustration activities before moving to Portugal.

I moved to Portugal in 2017 to keep continue studying, but in parallel with that I could launch my website, hold many exhibitions, and collaborate on illustration projects with theaters, municipalities, museums and many more places in north Portugal. I also paint on ceramics and tiles, and I have been presenting them with some special’s themes in many unique places in north Portugal as well namely Hotel six Sense, Casa de Mateus, Art center of Douro Museum, Casa de Careto and etc.

I am mostly working with watercolor and acrylic, trying to feel and show life apart from a repetitive routine. My feminist spirit and love for animals and nature are evident in my paintings.

Feel free to get in touch with me for any inquiries and check my upcoming
exhibitions and events through Instagram or Facebook.

Excellent work Firoozeh! Your illustrations make me feel nostalgic about the story books I read as a kid. I like the way you portray nature with all that colourfulness and lightness.
