About
Pouyeh Peyman (پویه پیمان)
is a wearable-sculpture artist, contemporary jewelry designer, and university lecturer.
Her practice unfolds at the intersection of body and matter, where jewelry transcends adornment to become a language of storytelling.
Each piece is one-of-a-kind, emerging from a dialogue between imagination and the human body — weaving ancient myths, living nature, and personal experiences into contemporary forms.
