Rebecca Setareh

Rebecca Setareh is an Iranian artist based in Southern California and Miami. Setareh received her Bachelor’s in Fine Arts from the Institut des Beaux-Arts St. Luc in Liege, Belgium. Her piece “The Peacock” was awarded first place prize by Dr. Gandji, Iran’s then-Minister of Education. Her work was also awarded a second-place prize in a national competition juried by then-Prime Minister Hoveida and Queen Farah Diba Pahlavi. Featured in numerous exhibitions nationally and known for her unique integration of rock and bronze, Rebecca’s work has garnered the attention of a global audience.

Setareh’s unique use of bronze in conjunction with natural stone communicates feelings of both awe and realism. In integrating crude, coarse rock with smooth, fluid bronze, she achieves the creation of an almost surreal dreamscape, where her figures tell their own stories.

Select group shows include “247-HBA: Happy Birthday America” at Manolis Projects (2023), “Current Selection of Works: Spring 2019” at Advocartsy, Los Angeles, California (2019), “30Voices” at SCOPE, Miami Beach (2018), “Women’s Caucus for the Arts” at  Arena 1 Gallery, Santa Monica (2018),  and “Tamarindo ArtWave”, Costa Rica (2016).
