Shervin/e Sheikh Rezaei (b. 1994, Belgium/Iran) is a Brussels-based multimedia artist whose practice unfolds across architecture, drawing, sculpture, video, sound, and installation. Trained as an architect at KU Leuven (BE) and the Bauhaus University Weimar (DE), she approaches the world through systems of structure and precision, yet her artistic work gravitates toward what escapes control — the organic, the emotional, and the fluid. This shift from architecture to visual art reflects her search for a balance between logic and intuition, control and surrender. 

Her installations often investigate how organic and bodily forces confront the rational language of design and technology. Movement, decay, and chance are recurring agents in her process, shaping environments where form and sound reveal subtle tensions between vulnerability and structure. 

Over the past years, Sheikh Rezaei’s artistic research has centered on two guiding questions: How can the metaphor of fluidity embody the fragile balance between desire, illness, and female identity — and how does this reflect the tension between bodily surrender and self-poisoning? And how can installations, in dialogue with theoretical and literary references, deepen our perception of the sick body and the interplay between text, sound, and physical experience? 

These questions form the foundation of her ongoing exploration of the body as both vulnerable and generative — a site where intimacy, decay, and resistance coexist. Through sound and spatial composition, Sheikh Rezaei seeks to transform personal, corporeal experience into collective spaces of awareness and renewal. 

Before dedicating herself fully to her art practice in 2021, she taught Mixed Media Interior Design at LUCA School of Arts (Brussels/Ghent) and worked as an assistant at Architecten Jan De Vylder Inge Vinck, where she also completed her architectural internship.
