Mojé Assefjah (b. 1970, Tehran, Iran) lives and works in Munich, Germany, since 1986 when she moved to Germany with her family.

In her paintings, by applying multiple thin layers using the almost-forgotten egg tempera technique and India ink, Assefjah develops her own distinctive visual language. Although the artist is committed to non- representative painting, her compositions nonetheless convey a feeling of spatiality and conjure up associations with landscapes and figures. Assefjah’s pictorial worlds are characterized by lightness and structural density, with the alternation of transparency and opacity, daylight and darkness creating a mysterious and atmospheric quality.

Mojé Assefjah studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Since 1999 her work has been shown in several solo and group exhibitions in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and in the US. Her work is presented in numerous international public collections including the Lenbachhaus Museum, Germany, Pinakothek der Moderne, Germany, Graphische Sammlung, Germany, Guangdong Art Museum, China, and BIZ Bank für Internationale Zahlungen, Switzerland.
