Atefeh Hekmat was born 1972 in Tehran, Iran. She has a degree in Psychology from Azad University, Tehran. Hekmat also studied photography in Iran and has worked as a professional photographer for Emetis Talar Wedding Function Centre. She has been painting landscapes and figurative work for the last 15 years under the tutelage of Ostad Jafar Shahir in Tehran. After opening her own art gallery, Hekmat developed several exhibitions with support of art teachers and friends. She wored as an assistant painter for four years in Iran, learning different styles of painting. Hekmat was invited to work with Tehran Municipality, a job offer she was not able to take as she had to leave the country and come to Australia to seek asylum. She has since shown her work at SSI"s Art is our Voice exhibition and a number of community and women-focused events.

Hekmat"s artistic practice centres on oil and acrylic painting on canvas. She has a great love of nature and her works predominately reflect the changing moods of the landscape. Her works are dynamic and represent her desire to connect with her inner journey as an artist.
