Fardokht (b. 1977, Tehran) is a London-based artist. She relocated to the UK in 1984, and her practice is rooted in the experiences of displacement, belonging, and the evolving meaning of home that have shaped her life since.

She trained as an architect at the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL), completing RIBA Parts 1, 2 and 3, and practised for twelve years - including five years running her own London studio. That formation is present in her painting: in the spatial thinking, the layered surfaces, the attention to what structures hold and what they let fall away.

She co-founded A Space Between, a charity delivering therapeutic art programmes in NHS hospitals and GP clinics.

Her work draws on literary as well as architectural thinking, particularly Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, with its fragmented, imagined cities built from memory and longing. She is interested in the places where personal and collective histories leave their mark.
