Fariba Abedin
Fariba Abedin received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Architecture from Massachusetts College of Art and her Master of Science in Education from Connecticut State University. She then studied painting and sculpture at the Glassell School of Art, Museum of Arts, Houston, for about ten years. Iranian born, Fariba was exposed to the rich art and culture of Iran during her childhood. She still remembers the beauty of the geometric shapes and rich colors of Persian tiles and the mirror work in the various mosques and architectural monuments in Iran. Her artwork is influenced by her Iranian heritage, represented in a contemporary style.Fariba lives and works in Houston and exhibits at her studio at the Silver Street Studios, Studio #303. She currently exhibits and gives lectures and workshops at museums and universities. Iranian born, Fariba Abedin’s work explores geometric abstraction with an emphasis on color study where geometry and color become the subjects of her intriguing paintings. Her carefully selected tints, shades and tones create the illusion of volume, space, and transparency. Although Abedin’s work is geometric and structural, her concept of work is tender and appealing in its appreciation of the 
nature and science, Color and geometry. She also conveys a message of love and peace through her work. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Architecture from Massachusetts College of Art and a Master of Science in Education from Connecticut State University. Then, for ten years, she studied painting and sculpture at the Glassell school of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
She lives and works in Houston and has exhibited and given workshops, at The Museum of Geometric and MADI Art in Dallas, Pear Fincher Museum, Dallas Museum of Art, University of North Texas, Irving Art Center, Plano Art Association, and the Asia Society, Lawndale Art Center, Jung Center, Bank of America Center, the City Hall, in Houston. She is commissioned a public sculpture for the City of Houston to be installed in March, 2018. She exhibits in her studio at the Silver Street Studios, #303.“Fariba Abedin’s paintings dissect light into its prismatic components. She then re-configures these component colors into sometimes large-scale compositions. Reminiscent of early Bauhaus concepts, especially ideas by Johannes Itten in his book “The Art of Color”, Abedin goes beyond the original Bauhaus premises and articulates novel geometric color fields of her own provenance.” By; Volker Eisele
