BIO

Who is RUN?

RUN is an Iranian female street artist and Muralist based in Iran/Tehran since 2012.

My artworks combine portraiture and nature, and in recent years have evolved into glassy, translucent 

human forms that reveal the beauty within humanity. These figures symbolize vulnerability, honesty, and 

the deep emotional layers that exist beneath the surface. My work is a reflection of my inner world, 

shaped by feeling, intuition, and lived experience. I believe emotions are essential—they are the core 

of our humanity.

Art Journey : Since 2018, I have traveled to connect with people, cultures, and artists around the 

world. My artworks can be found in cities across Iran and internationally, including Turkey (Istanbul),

 Oman (Salalah), Georgia (Tbilisi), Thailand (Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Krabi – Phi Phi Island),

 India (Mumbai), Germany (Berlin), Armenia (Yerevan), the UAE (Dubai), Indonesia (Bali, Solo), 

Italy (Pompeii), and Kyrgyzstan (Bishkek) , Sri lanka ( colombo ) .

Street art and graffiti connect people beyond borders by creating shared visual languages. Public art

 has the power to transform cities while opening space for social dialogue, inspiration, rebellion, and

 wonder.

Beyond my murals and artworks, I have participated in exhibitions, festivals, and international

 street art events, including Meeting of Styles. I am also the first female skateboarder from Iran,

 skating since 2009. Skateboarding has deeply influenced my artistic path and street practice. 

Out of my love for this culture, I began painting on skateboard decks—merging movement, freedom,

 and art into one form.

Since 2023, I have also been snowboarding. My connection to mountains and riding in snow inspired me 

to create digital snowboard artworks for brands and riders, expanding my practice into new landscapes 

and mediums.
