Niloofar Ghadrinejad is known for the political and social paintings and murals she painted amid the 1979 revolution. In this respect, Ghaderinejad is one of the most prominent female artists in the history of Iranian art. This painter was born in 1957 in Tehran. Ghaderinejad spent high school at Behzad Conservatory, then in 1975, she went to Tehran University Faculty of Fine Arts to study painting. Her study period coincided with the tumultuous years of the 1957 revolution. Ghaderinejad was Hannibal Khas's student at the university and was inclined towards revolutionary art like some of his students. This period's results are several wall paintings, several large paintings on canvas, and several designs associated with the fighting movements and political issues of the time, which were inspired by the murals and revolutionary art of Mexico.
