Exhibition at the Russell-Cotes Museum, Bournemouth, UK
I’m truly honoured and grateful to have been shortlisted for the Ruth Borchard Self-Portrait Prize 2025. Out of over 2,000 entries, just 37 artists were selected to exhibit at the Russell-Cotes Museum in Bournemouth, UK.
The private view was an unforgettable evening, surrounded by powerful and diverse self-portraits. It was incredibly inspiring to connect with many of the other participating artists.
Congratulations to Hanieh Yavarii on winning the £10,000 prize — so well deserved!
A heartfelt thank you to the Russell-Cotes Museum for their warm hospitality, and to the Ruth Borchard Collection and Piano Nobile Gallery for organising such a meaningful exhibition.
It’s a dream come true to show my work in the same space as one of my all-time favourite masters, Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
