Farnaz Harouni is a multidisciplinary Artist, Designer, and Professor whose work celebrates empowerment, authenticity, and the triumph of the human spirit. A top graduate of Otis College of Art and Design, she bridges fine art, couture fashion, and interior design-earning prestigious awards and creating pieces worn and collected by celebrities and tastemakers alike.
For over 17 years, Harouni has also shaped future generations of artists as a dedicated Professor at Otis, where her influence extends far beyond the classroom. Her commitment to community and philanthropy mirrors the generosity and intention embedded in her creative practice.
Based in Los Angeles, Harouni draws inspiration from her global travels, nature, and the richness of cultural diversity-infusing each work with a sense of joy, meaning, and connection that transcends borders.
Farnaz Harouni's work reimagines the human lip as a high-energy canvas, pulsing with the same electricity that fuels Miami's art and music scene. Each piece channels the city's rhythmic nightlife, creative influence, and sun-soaked vibrancy through bold palettes, shimmering textures, and sculptural detail that comes alive.
Her art celebrates lips as both a universal symbol of expression and an iconic object of desire, echoing the way Miami itself speaks through color, sound, and culture. The sparkle, saturation, and kinetic energy within her pieces mirror the eclectic rhythm of the of Miami streets and the immersive sensory experience that defines Art Basel.
"The lips are a universal symbol of the power of self-expression and an iconic object of desire," says Farnaz Harouni.
"In a place as vibrant as Miami—where art, music, and culture collide—I want to magnify that power. My work aims to provoke thought, evoke joy, and celebrate collective beauty through the lens of individual diversity."
