About

Shahryar Khorasani

Shahryar Khorasani (1993, Iran) is an artist and neuroscientist based in Berlin. 

He creates drawings and paintings in graphite, charcoal, ink, oil, and digitally using Photoshop. He is recognizable for his dark surrealistic artworks, in which figures are placed within otherworldly landscapes, undergoing transformations. 

One of the distinctive aspects of Khorasani’s creative process is his use of focused meditation. By employing this method, Khorasani integrates his subconsciousness into the planned compositions, resulting in a unique interplay between reality and the dream world, as he bridges the two with his sparing use of symbols that encourages exploration.

Khorasani’s unique combination of artistic expression and scientific background offers a distinct perspective that captivates and challenges viewers, inviting them to delve into the depths of their imagination and invent their own narratives and connections within his works.
