The Gallery We’re Building Together

Elham Gallery dreams of becoming more than a space on a screen it hopes to grow into a permanent, physical place where art, people, and stories come together. A welcoming space filled with color, light, and creative energy.

The vision is to create a home for both artists and art lovers a place to meet, talk, share a drink, and connect directly. It will host art and cultural workshops, community events, and exhibitions that celebrate expression in all its forms.

One of the gallery’s most important goals is to support talented immigrant artists by giving them a visible platform within the host community — a chance to be seen, heard, and celebrated.

Elham Gallery’s future space will be for everyone a place for beauty, hope, celebration, and conversation. Open to all ages. Open to all hearts.

Elham Ghoreishi is an Iranian-Dutch visual artist, writer, and professional equestrian. Her multidisciplinary work blends painting, mixed media, and storytelling to explore themes of identity, freedom, and resilience. Central to her art are women and horses powerful symbols of strength and movement.

Born in Tehran and now based in the Netherlands, Elham draws on her rich background in Persian literature, fine arts, and equine sciences. Her creative practice reflects her cultural heritage and personal journey as a migrant. Through vibrant colors and textured layers, she bridges the gap between East and West, tradition and modernity.

Elham’s artworks have been exhibited in group shows throughout Europe and the Middle East. In 2023, her short screenplay earned the Best Short Script award at an international film festival. She is also the author of bilingual audio stories and short fiction that delve into exile, femininity, and the inner voice.

Her art transcends visual expression; it is a space for dialogue, emotion, and transformation. Through her gallery and workshops, Elham aims to connect emerging artists, elevate marginalized voices, and share stories that cross cultural boundaries.

Looking ahead, Elham plans to bring together talented but lesser-known immigrant artists under the banner of Elham Gallery. She believes that no artist should go without support, and her goal is to create a dedicated space to nurture and promote these voices.

Creative Process

In today’s world, the artist is no longer an isolated figure, working in silence and solitude. The contemporary artist is present, engaged, and open to dialogue. Art doesn’t exist in a vacuum it thrives on exchange, connection, and shared experience.

Direct communication with audiences, participation in podiums and public conversations, and the creation of spaces for artistic gatherings are essential parts of an artist’s path. Meeting other artists, sharing ideas, expressing hopes, and even openly speaking about weaknesses or failures these are not signs of fragility, but of strength. They build resilience, deepen understanding, and create a sense of belonging in a larger creative community.

Art in all its forms visual, written, spoken, performed nourishes the soul of society. And when artists step forward, connect, and stay visible, they become not just creators of beauty, but active contributors to collective healing and cultural growth.
