Simin Ekrami, a sculptor, was born in Tehran. After finishing high school, she moved to the United States of America and studied sculpture at Morgan State University in Baltimore-Maryland between 1969 and 1972. After returning to Iran, she entered the Faculty of Fine Arts in Tehran and continued her studies in sculpture. "When I returned to Iran from America and continued my studies at Tehran Fine Arts College, one day, I told Mr. Tanavoli that I wanted to come and work in your studio. It was a period when the first Heeches were being formed. In the studio, where all the students were boys, I forced myself and said: I'm coming to make coffee for you, but I like to be in this space. After a few days, Mr. Tanavoli said: "Take cutter mill. You can work too." She started her professional activity in 1973 in a joint workshop with his husband, Bahram Dabiri. "Bahram and I have been significantly influenced by each other in our work. As I am significantly influenced by Henry Moore and Bahram by Picasso. Another positive feature of this space is that Bahram and I have never imposed ourselves on each other. We must have asked each other's opinions, but we never dictated that you should do such and such a thing. Ekrami exhibited her works for the first time in a group exhibition at the cultural office of the French Embassy in Tehran. In 2001, she held a solo exhibition of her works in her studio. In 2002, her works were shown in a group exhibition in Bremen, Germany.

Ekrami creates reliefs and sculptures with various materials such as plaster, wood, metal, and stone. She has created works commissioned by government institutions to be installed in public spaces. Among them, we can mention the Tehran City Renewal Organization logo in 1991 and the Persian Gulf in Asalouye in 1998. Also, the statue of Earth in the Conversation Park, four statues of her in Jamshidiyeh Park in Tehran, and seven stone birds in the garden of the artists' house are some of Ekrami's urban works.
