Behrou Marzban

Contemporary painter 

Behrou Marzban is an Iranian-born, Düsseldorf-based painter working primarily in watercolor and acrylic. Her work explores the relationship between landscape, light, and perception, informed by her personal journey between two cultures.

Raised in Iran and later settling in Germany, Behrou developed a profound sensitivity to atmosphere, silence, and the emotional presence of nature. She is particularly drawn to transitional moments, when changing light subtly transforms a scene and alters its mood. Through a careful balance of reduction, contrast, and atmospheric depth, her paintings create contemplative spaces that invite reflection and quiet observation.

Since 2020, Behrou has exhibited internationally, with exhibitions including Tehran and Istanbul. Her work continues to intertwine themes of memory, migration, and the subtle poetry of nature, contributing a distinctive voice to contemporary watercolor and acrylic painting.

Floral Acrylic Painting Workshop at Atelier Rikon

I’m happy to return to Atelier Rikon in Switzerland for three new floral acrylic painting workshops on October 21, 22 and 23, 2026.

Designed especially for beginners and art enthusiasts, each workshop offers a full creative day exploring the fundamentals of acrylic painting. We will begin with color theory and practical color-mixing exercises, including warm and cool colors, complementary colors and values.

Using flowers as our inspiration, we will then explore composition, basic drawing principles and the placement of key elements before creating an individual floral painting. Throughout the workshop, I will work closely with each participant and provide individual guidance.

Dates: October 21, 22 & 23, 2026
Time: 10:15–16:15
Location: Atelier Rikon, Switzerland
Language: English
Price: CHF 160, including materials & Apéro

I look forward to another inspiring experience of painting, creativity and connection at Atelier Rikon.
