Mahsa Farzi (b. 1992, Tehran, Iran) is an Iranian artist whose practice is rooted in the lived experience of displacement, fragmentation, and the instability of identity. Her work engages with rupture in formal, emotional, and political terms, not only as a subject but also as a method of making.

​

She graduated with an MFA from the University of British Columbia (2025) and holds an MFA in Painting from the Art University of Tehran (2021). She was  awarded the Joan Wright Hassell Prize in Visual Arts from UBC and Best Thesis for her  Master of Arts in Painting at the Art University of Tehran. In 2018, she was recognized  as an outstanding student in painting at the Art University of Tehran.
