in pursuit of meaning, in
search of truth. In life as
in art...

BIO
Roshan Houshmand is an Iranian-American artist who was born in 1961 in the Philippines. She was raised in the Philippines and Iran. Her MA and MFA are from Rosary College of Illinois Graduate Program in Florence, Italy, (1983, 84) and her BA is from Bennington College in Vermont where she received awards for outstanding work and leadership in the arts (1982). For several years she studied with Julio Alpuy, a preeminent member of the Atelier of Joaquin Torres Garcia, founder of Universal Constructivism.
Ms. Houshmand has been exhibiting her work for over two decades in Europe and the USA. She is a 2005 recipient of the NY State Council on the Arts Decentralization Grant and a 2006 grant recipient from the US State Department for the exhibition “21st Century American Women Artists” at the US Mission to NATO in Belgium.
Her influences include Persian art, Velazquez, Picasso, Rothko, Miro, Klee, Torres-Garcia, Brancusi, Bleckner, Lupertz, Marden, Barcelona, travel, nature, physics, anthropology and solitude.
Her work has been included in “Totem” at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, Florida, “Evolving Perceptions” at The National Press Club in Washington, DC, and “21st Century American Women Artists” at Truman Hall, Brussels. In 2007, Houshmand’s physics-inspired paintings were featured on the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s website in commemoration of their sixtieth anniversary and, later, in SYMMETRY and Cosmos magazines. These works are also featured in the April 2008 edition of COSMOS magazine.
Roshan Houshmand’s work is in private collections in Denmark, Spain, UK, Germany, Belgium, Cyprus, Italy, Costa Rica and the United States and in corporate collections in Cyprus, Denmark and Spain. She has taught and lectured at Penn State University, the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Winchester Graduate School of Art and La Massana in Barcelona.
