Mahdieh Abolhasan began her artistic journey as a child at Tehran’s Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults, where she first discovered her love for drawing and sculpture. Over the years, she honed her skills through rigorous study, eventually joining the renowned Drawing House under the mentorship of artist Farhad Gavzan. This foundation led her to develop a distinct style that blurs the boundary between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional sculpture. By layering dense cardboard, gluing the sheets together, and meticulously carving into them, Abolhasan creates intricate topographies filled with deep cavities and hidden structures. Her breakthrough came in 2020 when she won the prestigious KHOR Art Initiative, earning international acclaim for the layered, historical resonance of her work. She has since exhibited globally, including appearances at Volta Art Basel in Switzerland and Spazio NOU in Milan.

At the heart of Abolhasan’s practice is a belief in the creative potential of destruction. Rather than building a sculpture in the traditional sense, she constructs a solid mass only to attack it in a controlled, deliberate manner. As she cuts away the top layers to reveal what lies beneath, she reflects a process of making and unmaking that echoes the realities of modern life. In her own words, her sculptures represent a volume that has survived the wounds of destruction. She often incorporates tiny mirrors deep within these carved spaces. These mirrors are deliberately kept small, offering viewers a brief, subtle glimpse of their own reflection. The goal is not self-absorption, but a quick moment of pause, a quiet invitation to look inward and reflect before turning back to the world.

Living and working in Tehran, Abolhasan’s artistic philosophy carries a poignant weight given the complexities of modern urban life. Her physical process of carving, wounding, and revealing resilience in paper serves as a quiet metaphor for survival against the odds. Beyond her studio work, she expands her practice through performance art and land art, continually exploring how physical presence and environment interact. For collectors and gallery visitors, her pieces offer more than visual depth; they present a deeply human narrative about memory, critical self-examination, and finding enduring strength within fragmented layers.

Ali Zakeri’s artistic journey is rooted in resilience and a quiet, steadfast dedication to capturing the human experience. Born in a small village in Zanjan, Iran, his connection to drawing began early in childhood. As a teenager, he moved to Tehran to seek work, where observant teachers recognized his natural talent and guided him toward formal artistic training at the Boys’ Fine Arts High School. His education was later interrupted by mandatory military service, yet his resolve remained intact. He went on to earn his undergraduate degree in painting from Tehran University and his master’s degree from Tarbiat Modares University. To support his creative practice, Zakeri worked for over a decade as a graphic designer for Iran’s national automobile manufacturer, Iran Khodro, while simultaneously building a career as a university professor who shaped generations of young Iranian artists.

The core of Zakeri’s canvas centers on human emotion, endurance, and physical vulnerability. He is widely recognized for his intense series, The Eliminated or The Sons of God, which depicts dramatic boxing matches. By stripping away the crowd and glamor of the sport, Zakeri transforms the boxing ring into a metaphor for the universal human struggle for survival against adversity. His energetic brushstrokes reflect the turmoil, isolation, and endurance that many in his homeland understand deeply through times of profound personal and collective challenge. In contrast to these heavy emotional themes, Zakeri balances his work through quiet escapes into open landscapes, describing nature as a space of profound silence where he can reflect. In a lighter detail that surprises many, he finds his greatest daily inspiration under warm, bright, sunny skies, offering a gentle counterweight to the dramatic shadows in his art.

Today, Zakeri stands as a vital figure in contemporary Iranian art whose message crosses borders. His work has gained strong international momentum, featured prominently at major global platforms including Art Expo Chicago, Untitled Miami, and showcases across Paris, Seoul, and Busan. Continuing to live, paint, and teach through a rapidly changing world in Iran, Zakeri gives voice to those navigating adversity. For gallery visitors and collectors, his paintings offer much more than dynamic technique; they provide an authentic glimpse into the strength of the human spirit when tested by the world around it.
