b. 2001, Venice, IT
Lives and works in Bologna, IT
Exhibitions:

The artist trained at the Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna, graduating in Painting (Visual Arts). Working with a variety of media—while favoring textiles and ceramics—Saraji develops a practice that uncovers, reclaims, and deepens multiple aspects of personal identity.
Central themes include Persian culture—explored through the father’s narratives and the study of the decorative artistic elements of miniatures and carpets—elements of Greek mythology, the extreme fluidity of the body, particularly in relation to gender, and the acrobatic exploration of the line dividing reality from fantasy and play.
These subjects are reworked through a playful lens: references to Persian visual culture are reinterpreted with vivid colors and interwoven forms; the body is transformed through the relationship between sculptural and pictorial elements, dissolving into drops, chimeras, fishnet stockings, and serpents.
