TISHK BARZANJI
Tishk Barzanji is a visual artist based in London, United Kingdom. His work touches on the modernism and surrealism movement. His process is about space, colour, deconstruction, breaking boundaries, understanding the living space in this fast-moving world, and human interactions within these spaces. Inspired by his childhood in Kurdistan, and early adult years in London, where he moved in 1997.
The first few years in London were an eye-opener, where his passion for architecture and art began. Surrounded by the rich cultures of London and this new environment, shaped his ideas. He later went on to study Fine Art at Richmond upon Thames College, and Physics at Loughborough University. Since 2017, he has worked with Rockefeller, New York Times, V & A museum, Somerset house, NET-A-PORTER, Gucci, and most recently featured in British Vogue.

Legacy
Informed in equal parts by colour and architecture, Tishk Barzanji’s works are an exploration of space, emotion and human interaction.
Barzanji spent the first eight years of his life in Iraqi Kurdistan – a time that would act as an incubator for his future work. “Living there was very profound,” he says. “I travelled through a few cities in Iraq with my dad. What stuck with me through these travels was the terrain, and how clear the light was and how the shadows were cast on the streets.”
A move to London in 1997 ignited his passion for art and architecture. The body of work he’s built is knee-bucklingly beautiful, and has been championed by galleries, brands, and other artists alike.
