Timeline
Partou Zia (, 9 October 1958 – 19 March 2008) was a British-Iranian artist and writer.
Born in Tehran, she emigrated to England in 1970, where she completed her secondary education at Whitefields school near Hendon, London (1972–78).
Zia studied Art History at the University of Warwick (1977–80) and at the Slade School of Fine Art (1986–91).
In 1993, she moved to Cornwall where she lived and worked with her husband, the painter Richard Cook, until her death from cancer, in March 2008.
Tate St Ives honoured her parting by hanging one of her last completed canvases, Forty Nights and Forty Days as a memorial to her, for a month, at the gallery's entrance.

In 2001, she completed a Ph.D. at Falmouth College of Arts and the University of Plymouth.

In 2003, Tate St Ives initiated a pioneering residency programme at the historic Porthmeor Studios in St Ives, Cornwall, previously occupied by Borlase Smart, Ben Nicholson, and Patrick Heron.
Zia was the first recipient of this award and her exhibition at Tate St Ives was accompanied by a catalogue 'Entering the Visionary Zone'.
Early in Partou’s career, landscape provided the main inspiration for her work.
The quest of the individual for the divine was a developing theme.
A fascination for religious iconography was manifested in depictions of the overlooked corners of church interiors.
Everyday objects such as books, lamps and chairs inhabited her images of domestic scenes, suggesting a desire to capture the essence of her long-lost childhood home.
Her canvases at this time were dominated by an energetic application of heavily impastoed yellow, which for her represented the spiritual.
Self-portraits, some of them nude, also formed an important part of her oeuvre, not only as a means of asserting her identity as a woman and a painter, but in order to reveal her intuitive self.
Partou's canvases bring a fresh note to the long established tradition of story telling.
In scale her works range from a few inches to several feet high, with characteristic free brushwork and an immediately recognisable energetic handling of layers of paint.
She has been inspired by the writing and illustrations of William Blake, and her work explores a personal journey of self-discovery.
Through these vibrant, painterly canvases, she draws the viewer into her dream like memory.
Her own language is highly original, evolving a personal mythology of motifs and symbols that include lovers, sleepers, dreamers and readers, set within evocative interiors or luminous landscapes.
The paintings from the last few months of her life reflect a change of mood.
The intense energy of her earlier canvases has given way to a more contemplative application of paint, as a consequence of her failing strength.
In ‘40 Nights and 40 Days’ she reclines, in classical garb, resting her elbow on a pile of books – an indication, perhaps, that her work is done.
She seems to be gazing beyond the present, the outstretched hand ready to guide her on the next step of her journey.
