Mehrdad Fallah (Persian: مهرداد فلاح; born 1975) is an Iranian painter and calligrapher. His work incorporates Iranian cultural motifs, calligraphic forms, and elements of contemporary painting.
Fallah was born in Tehran, Iran, in 1975. According to a biography published on his website, he began studying painting with Sadegh Tabrizi and later studied with other Iranian artists, including Arab Ali Shorouh, Buik Ahmari, Abbas Blokiefar, and Jamshid Samavatian.
According to a timeline published on Fallah's website, his exhibition history began with a group exhibition of reverse-glass painting at Gallery 66 in Tehran in 1998. The timeline lists subsequent exhibitions and art events in Iran and other countries.
In 2017, Fallah presented works in the exhibition Lion with Line at Farda Gallery in Tehran. The exhibition text, attributed to Sadegh Tabrizi, discussed the symbolic significance of the lion in Iranian culture and its use in Fallah's work.
His listed series include Lion with Line and Khoroosneshan, which features rooster imagery.
Fallah's published timeline lists exhibitions and art events in several countries, including Turkey, Belarus, Italy, and the United Arab Emirates. It also records participation in Art Dubai in 2017 and 2019 and a solo exhibition in Istanbul in 2019.
In November 2025, Fallah was among the artists featured in Persian Whispers, a group exhibition at Aryan Gallery at Pars Place in Virginia, United States. The exhibition was covered by the arts publication East City Art.
An artwork attributed to Fallah from the Khoroosneshan series appears in artist records maintained by Artnet and askART in connection with an auction in October 2024.
Fallah's published timeline lists the Second Mohtasham Art and Literature Prize in 2014 and the third Sherveh Prize Festival in 2015. These awards are listed in the artist's own chronology; independent sources documenting the awards have not been established here.
