Born in Mashhad, Iran, Jinchi became attuned early in life to the ways architecture, objects, decoration and the written word can be imbued with symbolic power. This awareness is threaded throughout her body of work, which explores the dense intersectionality of literary and pictorial narratives. Her attention to methodology stems from a background as a mathematician; her formal approach reflects a creative tension between the rigid control of traditional Islamic calligraphy and the fluid spontaneity of Western abstract painting.

The Third Line is a Dubai-based art gallery that represents contemporary Middle Eastern artists locally, regionally and internationally, and that hosts non-profit, alternative programmes to increase interest and dialogue in the region. Its book wing, Works on Paper, publishes books by associated artists from the region.
