Ehsan Maleki

Inspired by Persian poetry, craftsmanship, and his own life journey, Ehsan Maleki transforms clay into vessels of memory.

His ceramic works honor the traditions that shaped him while reflecting the resilience and creativity found in building a life between cultures. Each piece speaks to the enduring relationship between maker, material, and story.

Ehsan Maleki was born and raised in Nahavand, Iran. He left his home country in 1986 establishing a new life in Portland, OR with his wife and two children.

An engineer by trade, Ehsan discovered his passion for art as a pre-retirement hobby. Ehsan primarily designs ceramic art and paintings. He pulls design inspiration from his love of poetry and roots in Iran.
