Born in Tehran, she began painting under the supervision of Aydin Aghdashloo. She studied painting at Alzahra University and earned a BFAin Painting in 1996 and an MA in Painting in 1998 at Islamic Azad University.[2][3]
Alikhanzadeh uses acrylic paint, mirrors and old found images, mainly family photographs, in her work. She uses these images from the past to explore identity and reality in modern Iran. Some works also include actual Persian carpets to evoke the past.[1][4]
