Hiva Alizadeh
Hiva Alizadeh (b. 1989, Kerman, Iran) lives and works in London, UK. Hiva Alizadeh is a self-taught artist whose work emerges from the ancient craft of Persian carpet weaving yet transcends material and form. Using synthetic hair, he weaves vibrant tapestries that fall, unravel, and recompose in a continuous dance of color and texture. Each work embodies impermanence, capturing the delicate tension between holding and letting go, between structure and collapse. His practice dwells in the space between the figurative and the abstract. Like paintings that never pause, his woven landscapes exist in motion, fluid and transient, reflecting a world that is always becoming. Threads intertwine and release, tracing invisible currents of memory, emotion, and spirit, inviting the viewer into a moment of passage where boundaries soften and meaning flows. Alizadeh’s art explores release, transformation, and the poetics of impermanence. His works bridge Eastern and Western cultural currents, creating a visual language that speaks of flux, rapture, and the quiet power of surrender.
Alizadeh’s work is present in public and private collections throughout Europe, the Middle East, China, and America. This includes important institutions and foundations such as AkzoNobel Art Foundation in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Palazzo Monti in Brescia, Italy, Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation in Los Angeles, USA, Kerman Museum of Contemporary Art in Iran, The Ned Doha Art Collection, and Clara and Nico Collection in Italy.
