As a well known artist her canvases hang in many corporate & private collections. Fouladvand has earned her reputation as an inventive artist whose paintings are based on multi-cultural experiences and memories that cross the boundary between representation and abstraction. She has written numerous major articles and contributed entries on modern art to many reference works, including Encyclopedia Iranica (housed at Columbia University New York), Encyclopaedia Iran today, Tavoos Quarterly and Arteast.
Fouladvand makes disjointed radical turns in her ​paintings​ and collages that are influenced by American masters such as Frank Stella, Robert Rauschenberg, ​Willem de Kooing , ​Joan Mitchell , and CyTwombly. These breaks from the expected tradition makes ​audiences experience new visual choices and present​ a chaotic and incomplete ​world ​and yet mesmerizing.
