Afsoon is an Iranian artist and a graduate of Fresno State University, California. After spending her childhood in Iran and late teens and early twenties in San Francisco, she settled in London where she studied printmaking and developed her own printmaking techniques. Her nomadic life is reflected in her work where East merges with West and the result is at once familiar and foreign. There are several layers in her work and at times she combines text with her images. She also
combines different techniques such as linocuts, photography, collage and etching. The result is a rich yet often playful and humorous tableau which the audience is able to engage with and interpret in its own way. In January 2008 the British Museum purchased two series of her work for its contemporary Middle Eastern collection.
