Mina Voshoghi Noori, a printmaker and art teacher, was born in Tehran. Between 1970 and 1073, he studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. Later, she studied manual printing techniques in Italy at the Albertina Academy, Turin, and the Orbio Art Institute. After returning to Iran, Noori started teaching at Farabi University and Tehran College of Fine Arts (Art University). The first solo exhibition of this artist was held in 1971 in Ghandriz Hall. This artist's works were displayed in a group exhibition at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Arts in 1980. Since then, she has exhibited her artworks individually and as a group in the country and abroad. In 1997, she participated in the 9th Triennial of Contemporary Art, Mono Print, in New Delhi. In 2010, she participated in the 8th International Triennial of Printing, AMAC, in France. She has also written in the field of printing education, among which we can mention "Silkscreen practical training" and "Hand printing, chalcography technique."
After experience in abstract painting, Noori turned to portrait painting with social issues and created images such as "Martyr's Mother" in 1981 at the same time as the revolution. She has been drawing still-life pictures with colored pencils for a long time. From the end of the 1980s, she repeatedly used the motif of "rope" in her compositions in opposition to two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. She himself has said about these works: "The contrast between the realistic view and the abstract view of life, the contrast between figurative elements and non-figurative elements, the contrast between known concepts and constructed concepts, has always been and is my preoccupation."
Samila Amir Ebrahimi writes in a note entitled "Mina Noori's social portraits": "... Mina Noori who exhibited a collection of her portraits with the chalcography technique in 2008. These figures were put together with great sensitivity, precision, and technical skill to express a completely different sensory concept than other portraits of these years. Mina Noori's subject people are her close and "favorite" acquaintances, and although they seem to be from different social strata, they share a common sense of friendship and kindness. In fact, she has seen another strain of the community's psyche, which deals more with emotional and human bonds.
