Koorosh Nejad

Artist Statement:

My work is my reflection on cultures, mythology and symbols. I research a particular culture first, then pick those elements I wish to use in the artwork, add my own taste to the element, add my own elements that are mainly inspired by cubism, make the design then complete the painting. My works are mostly black and white.

I love to create work that reflects my love of the source material I work from, the ancient cultures and their untold stories, various ancient mystery traditions, and the ever-unfolding and often mystical experience of being alive in a world that is apparently material, immaterial, and prone to all manner of interesting archetypal expressions and wonderments.

My media is acrylic on canvas.

I create my work out of my studio in south London.

Education:

Self-taught artist, painting abstract since 2015. Media used mostly acrylic on stretched canvas.
