Roksana Pirouzmand Iranian, b. 1990

Roksana Pirouzmand (b. 1990, Yazd, Iran) is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Los Angeles. She holds an MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles (2022), and a BFA from the California Institute of the Arts, California (2017).

Her practice deeply explores the dynamic interplay between the human body and its environment, examining its dual role as both a passive receiver or viewer and an active participant or performer. She is particularly interested in how the intrinsic qualities of materials—such as texture, weight, flexibility, and tension—can evoke sensory responses and establish a dialogue between the artwork and the audience. Through sculpture, installation, video, and performance, Pirouzmand creates engaging experiences that invite viewers to engage physically, and emotionally, blurring the boundaries between observation and participation. Her work often challenges traditional notions of space, movement, and perception, offering layered interpretations of how materiality and human presence intersect.
