VAHID DANAIEFAR

Vahid Danaiefar (b. 1983, Tehran) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice is marked by a dynamic and evolving engagement with diverse media. He began his artistic journey with painting, a medium that continues to form the foundation of his visual expression. Over time, Danaiefar has expanded his practice beyond traditional boundaries, embracing video art and installation as means to deepen conceptual exploration and establish a more immediate dialogue with the viewer.

His work revolves around the socio-political complexities and cultural contradictions faced by contemporary Middle Eastern societies in the context of modernity. Each project offers a multilayered reading of both personal and collective memory, while maintaining a strong aesthetic and conceptual narrative.

Danaiefar received his BA in Painting from Tehran’s Azad University in 2007, followed by an MA from Soore University in 2010. His works have been featured in both solo and group exhibitions in major art centers including Tehran, Dubai, Kuwait, London, and Bangkok.
