In November 2021, Iris Contemporary Space made its debut at the sixth edition of the renowned WOPART art fair in Lugano, Switzerland. As a gallery dedicated to showcasing the beauty of Persian and Oriental art, our participation in this prestigious event allowed us to bring the intricate details and vibrant colours of traditional Persian paintings, known as “Miniature,” to a global audience.

At WOPART, Iris Contemporary Space proudly represented four talented Persian artists, each with their unique artistic vision:
