​​​​Nima Jeizan (b. 1994) is an Iranian-American interdisciplinary artist and sculptor based in New York City. Raised in Tehran and Virginia, Jeizan’s work is deeply shaped by his cross-cultural experiences, merging traditional techniques with modern sensibilities. His evocative sculptures utilize materials such as pistachio shells, wood, horsehair, brass, dried pomegranates, glass, and animal horns, crafting forms that exist in a delicate balance between the living and the lamented, the natural and the artificial.

In his studio, Jeizan fosters a unique creative atmosphere, often inviting friends to share Persian tea and pistachios while he channels the essence of spirit animals into his work. His artistic process is accompanied by a mix of music from Kourosh Yaghmaei, Alice Coltrane, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Philip Glass, and Grace Jones, which enhances his meticulous activities of drilling, suturing, blending, rubbing, pouring, and dyeing.

Jeizan holds an MFA in Sculpture from Columbia University and a BFA in Sculpture + Extended Media from Virginia Commonwealth University. His work embodies a synthesis of rigorous technique and deep cultural exploration. Outside of the studio, Jeizan enjoys dancing at Basement in Maspeth, Queens, where he continues to draw inspiration from the vibrant rhythms of his surroundings.
