Born in Isfahan, Iran, in 1983, Mojdeh Atrak is a Tehran-based artist whose work is rooted in personal experience and emotional depth.Though her academic background is in English Translation and Interior Architecture, Atrak turned to art in 2013 after four years of intensive study in art history and mentorship with leading scholars. Her early works include A Gate to the Inner World, a series of large-scale iris paintings, and My Melancholic Heart, bronze sculptures exploring inner states. With Dopamine, she directly addressed her experience with depression, translating neurochemical and environmental influences into vibrant canvases. Her Knots series, intricate pen drawings on cardboard and silk, became a four-year meditative process. Tragically, much of the work was stolen before its exhibition. This loss gave rise to Not Knots, No More, a performance where she tied 1400 meters of white rope into knots and invited the public to help untangle them, an act of communal healing. She later restored damaged Knots pieces using gold thread, inspired by Kintsugi. During the Woman, Life, Freedom movement, she created a video performance involving strangers retying and untying a knotted rope, symbolizing resistance and solidarity. Atrak continues to explore new forms through linocut prints and ceramic sculpture, deepening a practice anchored in resilience, ritual, and transformation.
