Zahed Seikhbahaei ( b. 1981, Tehran, Iran) Zahed’s paintings blend symbolism and objectivity within a surreal atmosphere, transcending time, place, and geography. He captures social realities through a mix of visualization and imagination, using symbols rather than direct simulation. This approach reflects an internal and external exploration of self and society. His art interprets his observations of the world, offering a unique perspective on human experience and his observation of outer world.
