Fatemeh Emdadian was born in 1955 in Tabriz. She is the sister of Davoud and Yaqub Emdadian and the wife of Nusratullah Muslimian.

Emdadian graduated from Tehran Academy of Fine Arts and Faculty of Decorative Arts (Tehran Art University) in the field of sculpture. She started her professional activity in the late 80s and very quickly opened her place as a modern sculptor in the Iranian art scene. She held her first solo exhibition in 1989 at Seyhoun Gallery. Fatemeh Emdadian is the winner of the third prize of the 2nd biennale of works of contemporary Iranian sculptors in 2000 and the winner of the plaque and statue of the 3rd sculpture biennale in 2001. Emdadian has participated in many solo and group exhibitions inside and outside of Iran, and his work was among the entries in the first China International Biennale in 2003.

Fatemeا Emdadian's works are divided into two categories in terms of technique: bronze sculptures and relatively large wooden sculptures. These works are often inspired by the human figure. One of the distinctive features of the wooden sculptures of the rescuers is the diagonal cuts on their bodies. These sculptures, which are made in dimensions similar to the human body, have an abstract generality and have a modernist experience in terms of execution.

Emdadian sculptures can be classified into three periods in terms of working period. A group of wooden sculptures, bronze sculptures from the 90s and small bronze sculptures. Hafez Rouhani has written about Emdadian's works: "These works depict intrinsic themes such as love and connection, separation and suffering, anxiety and human existential crises. His bronze works in smaller dimensions are generally focused on the same themes.

 She also has many experiences in the field of making urban sculptures. One of her sculptures called Life, which was installed in the house of Iranian artists, disappeared during the theft of sculptures in Tehran.
