Maryam Koohestani was born in 1982 in the Iranian city of Zahedan and she holds a
Master’s degree in Art Research from Tabriz University.
“Within Flesh and Bone” is Maryam’s thirteenth solo exhibition and her first collaboration
with INJA Gallery. This series includes 8 ceramic sculptures in different dimensions.
Maryam is a sculptor whose principal artistic themes are the body and figure. 'Within Flesh
and Bone' makes overt and clear reference to relations between humans. In this series, the
body, which is often without gender, is merely a familiar means to express the situations
and spaces she hopes to share with the audience.
In addition to her artistic work, Maryam is active as a university lecturer and social activist,
having also taken part in more than twenty group exhibitions and competitions inside Iran
and abroad.
