Noreen Motamed is a Persian painter.

Daughter of Fereydoun Motamed, she was born in Abadan, Iran and attended primary and secondary school in Tehran and graduated in first place from University of Tehran with a B.A. degree in Arts. She continued her postgraduate studies and once again graduated in first place from Alzahra University with a Master of Arts degree with concentration in painting. She began painting as a professional artist in 1983. Starting with a figurative art[1] style she then turned to a synthesis of abstraction and figuration (Abstract figurative), depicting Persian female rug and kilim weavers[2] or humans and nature.[3] Persian miniatures have been great sources of inspiration in her latest paintings which are depictions of Modern Iranian in traditional spaces.[4] She has continued this style while in U.S.A. with a western influence as it appears in some of her abstract figurative 2 collection.[5] In 2008 her latest work (abstract figurative 3 collection)[6] reveals a romantic touch that is added to her paintings.
