Salar Ahmadian, a calligrapher and painter, is one of the contemporary artists of calligraphic painting. He was born in Dezful. He started his career with calligraphy and studied calligraphy under the supervision of first-rate teachers such as Amirkhani and received the highest honors degree. He also learned Nasta'liq cursive writing from Master Kaboli. At the beginning of the 90s, he immigrated to Canada and continued his artistic activity abroad. The first solo exhibition of this artist's works was shown in the Manly Museum gallery in Sydney in 1994, and his other solo exhibition was held in the same year at the Bernadette Gallery in Vancouver. The artist's third solo exhibition was in 1995 at Avrum Gallery in Switzerland. After a three-year break, he held other solo exhibitions in New York, UAE, and Germany. In 1996, Ahmadian's works were exhibited in Tehran's Hepta Gallery. Some of his works are kept in important treasures such as the Chicago Museum and the Sydney Museum.

Ahmadian is faithful to the rules of calligraphy in his calligraphic paintings due to his formal calligraphy lessons. However, the painting aspects are also bold in his works. In most of his paintings, he creates a web of words. Letters that intertwine and are layered on each other create a kind of visual depth. He has a bold approach to using paints, and by using bright and pure color options, he creates a mood similar to pop art and gives a new flavor to calligraphy. In some paintings, this entanglement finds an emotional form, and the acceleration and intensity of the letters' rhythm and string-like sequences find an expressive effect. Ahmadian uses arrangements similar to the Op-Art flow in some of his paintings to create visual error and movement. A trait that has become clearer in his early 2010s works. By moving the visual quality and color of the positive space of the lines and the negative spaces between them, he creates a kind of optical illusion for the audience.
