Simin is sculptor with unique affinity for organic materials and forms. Her figures speak to her from wood and stone. They emerge from their source as though suspended in animation and then released and give life by deft hand of the artist
Simin was born in Tehran , the youngest of four daughters. She was destined to be a sculptor. In 1968, having completed her high school, Simin left Iran for the United States. She began a BA in fine arts at Morgan state University in Baltimore . in 1971, for family reasons, she returned to Tehran and completed her degree at Tehran University.
Despite her time abroad, Simin is firmly grounded in the Persian artistic tradition. The stone-works of Persepolis have proven to be her strongest influence and inspiration. She has studied these sculptures to improve upon them and to produce works of similar genre but more abstract in form. In the end, she found, The more I studied the sculptures of Persepolis, the more I studied the sculptures of Persepolis, the more I realized just how abstract they were.
