Dabbling in photography, murals, drawing, painting and printmaking; just to name a few... this multidisciplinary visual artist's pieces evoke contemplation of our world and a sense of safety, beauty and identity.

Born and raised in Iran, Amir immigrated to Melbourne and was awarded a scholarship to study Visual Arts at Swinburne in 2017. Commencing his creative practice in Iran through studying Architecture, Amir has over 30 years of experience creating visual art, but has been pursuing his career as a professional artist in Australia for the last eight years.

Amir's motivation for creating his art is paired with his desire to form commentary on social, political and humanitarian issues. He also sources inspiration from engaging with the community and the raw beauty of nature. Amir says, "art to me is like oil in a vehicle... it's in my blood."
