Leila Vismeh was born in 1979 in Arak (Iran). She graduated from Tehran University of Arts in 2009 with a degree in painting. Since then, she has participated in numerous group exhibitions (in Iran, Dubai, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Qatar) and won numerous awards, including first place in several drawing and painting competitions over the years (among which, the first prize, a gold statue and a plaque of appreciation in the 11th International Festival of Puppet Theater of Iranian Students, etc.)

In 2011, she held her first solo show at the Day Gallery in Tehran. In 2015, her second solo show was hosted the prestigious Etemad Gallery in Tehran. In 2016, she exhibited her Hunting collection at the Maja Arte Contemporanea Gallery in Rome, and in 2017, she participated in the ART CAPITAL exhibition, Salon des Artistes Indépendants Comparaisons Salon des Artistes Français (Grand Palais, Paris). In 2018, the collection of “There is No End to This Winter” was exhibited in Etemad Gallery in Tehran.

She is a member of the Iranian Painters Association and the Iranian Center for the Development of Visual Arts.

Leila Vismeh poetically depicts the anxieties of contemporary man on his arduous path with a metaphorical expressionist style; a path on which he loses many opportunities due to geographical determinism or political monopolies, leaving no choice but to continue hopelessly without a certain destination. But it goes on its way. And there is no refuge but love. She says in simple and sincere language that the Earth needs motherly love to survive.
