Fariba Rahnavard, born in 1984, is a modern and contemporary Iranian painter. He started painting professionally at the age of 18. After a few years, he entered the Faculty of Art and Architecture of the University of Central Tehran. During these years, due to his intense interest in the tragedies of the modern world, he turned to abstract expressionism, which has often been associated with the subject of history, violence and catastrophe in the modern world. His works were later exhibited in international biennials and exhibitions, including the Florence Biennale and the Manhattan International Competition.
