Nadine Majdalani Begdache has the pleasure to invite you to the opening of the solo exhibition from Reza Derakshani.
Painter, musician and performance artist Reza Derakshani was born in 1952 in Sangsar, Iran.
He studied visual arts in Tehran and in New York, where he lived and worked for sixteen years. He later moved to Italy, eventually returning to Tehran for seven years before leaving his
troubled homeland once again in 2010.
Derakshani’s passion for beauty and his nuanced perception of the light and dark of the world has found expression in many different forms, from music, graphic design, book illustration,
film animation and calligraphy to studies in traditional and western classical visual arts. Yet it is within contemporary painting that he has experienced true liberation and fulfillment as an artist.
