Born in Iran and now based in the Netherlands, Tara Haghi is a visual artist and painter whose work explores the emotional architecture of migration — the feeling of being suspended between belonging and elsewhere. Her paintings transform ordinary urban landscapes into psychological spaces, where memory, nostalgia, and adaptation coexist. Through color and form, she reflects on what it means to find a sense of home in a constantly shifting world.

Color is central to Tara’s practice. She uses bold, non-naturalistic palettes to reconstruct familiar cityscapes into emotional reflections rather than literal depictions. Buildings, streets, and windows in her paintings act as mirrors of the inner self — vessels of memory, emotion, and identity. Every canvas becomes a space where perception blurs with imagination, and where the everyday turns poetic.

Rooted in both Middle Eastern and European visual sensibilities, her art bridges cultural worlds. This intersection defines the essence of her work: she paints not only what she sees, but also what she feels between two geographies. Each painting is a dialogue between past and present, tradition and modernity — a search for harmony within contrast.

Through her work, Tara invites viewers to pause and reimagine the spaces they inhabit. Her paintings are not just visual experiences but emotional journeys — a quiet exploration of how color, architecture, and light can tell the stories of who we are, and where we truly belong.
