She is an established visual artist based in Dublin, Ireland. She has received an MFA in Fine Art from the Tehran University of Art. She has been teaching art and giving talks and workshops, since 1995 in different universities in Tehran, Seoul, and Dublin, including Trinity College, the Chester Beatty collection, Mother Tongue language festival, and Open House.
Manouchehri has had more than 50 group exhibitions internationally and 17 solo exhibitions in Tehran, Seoul, Dubai, Madrid, Munich, London, Brussels, Rauma, and Dublin, including the RHA and the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery. Her works can be found in important private and public international collections such as OPW, AIB bank, AXA insurance in Dublin, and Asia Art Network in Seoul. She has participated in international artist residencies, including Chang Dong in Seoul, Belmont Mill and RHA in Ireland, Rauma in Finland, and Can Serrat in Barcelona.
Her main form of practice is drawing on paper. She uses complex geometrical and Islamic patterns, reverse painting on glass and mirror, crafted through research on European medieval and Persian manuscripts which are her main resources in her practice. She looks for the conflict between our contemporary lifestyle and the lost truth, confronting her fears, dreams, and fantasies.
