Niki Sabet
- Actress
Sculptor, painter, photographer, muse, model - Niki Sabet is blazing
her unique trail as a multi-medium artist. Born in Iran, Sabet grew up
between France and Canada. She was writing poetry at seven and was a
featured student poet at The National Education Convention. At eight,
Sabet was wood carving, and her sculptures were showcased at The City
Art Fair. Upon graduating high school at 16, she was signed to the
prestigious Ford Modeling Agency. Sabet traveled the world,
establishing herself as an international model. She spent years living
all over Asia in cities such as Hong Kong, Bangkok and Boracay Island.
She later lived, for a time, in Europe and South Africa. Upon her
return to North America, she studied Interior Architecture at Ryerson
University in Toronto. She quickly realized her passion was in creating
with more of a hands-on approach rather than the world of academia. In
search of new inspiration, Sabet relocated to Los Angeles, California
and soon thereafter made Silverlake's well-known La Fonderie Atelier
her primary studio. Her secondary studio is in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It
is there where she began working on her first monumental bronze
sculpture for 50 Varick (the Tribeca Film Festival building) in NYC.
She resides between Los Angeles and New York. When film and fashion
industry movers and shakers began taking notice, Sabet found herself
being lured back into the entertainment industry by photographers and
directors. However, now her creative peers are regarding her as a muse
for their endeavors. Sabet works as a multi-media artist and
philanthropist supporting various charities. She is on the board of
Create LA as Creative Director.
