Aydin Aghdashloo, reflecting on Masoud Keshmiri, remarked, "Masoud Keshmiri is not just a skilled designer; he effortlessly captures the essence of individuals in rooms and waiting spaces, while also crafting illustrations reminiscent of classic 'comic books' and traditional stories from the last century. His artistic journey, rooted in storytelling, draws inspiration from sources like NC White and other revered painters and illustrators from the 1940s. We are fortunate to have such a talented artist among us, actively enriching the tapestry of our artistic landscape."
