Tajsar Jafari (b. 1955) is a prominent self-taught Iranian artist originally from Ganjgah, Ardabil, currently living and working in Bandar Anzali. After spending nearly five decades mastering traditional crafts such as carpet weaving and embroidery, Jafari discovered her innate painterly talent later in life, fully dedicating herself to the visual arts over the past fifteen years. Classified as an Outsider Artist, her work is deeply rooted in her extensive background in weaving, reflected in the rhythmic composition of elements and forms that mirror the visual structure of Persian carpets. Her paintings are rich with figures, symbols, and narratives that spring from both her personal experiences and collective memory, offering a unique bridge between traditional craft and contemporary folk expression.
