Mokarrameh Ghanbar (1928 - October 24, 2005) born in the
Village of Darikhaneh in Mazandaran , Iran, was a
heuristic and self-made painter who began painting at the
age of 63 and won several international talent prizes.

Mokarrameh’s paintings using bright, original colors
inspired by the beautiful natural surroundings of her
neighborhood, and within a few years her works were
noticed by painters in Iran and internationally. Despite
her great talent, she has never received any formal
training in painting. Mokarrameh died at the age of 77
and is buried in the courtyard of her house.
