Biography

Mazyar Tahouri is a visual artist، born in Tehran. He moved to Washington, D.C. to pursue graduate studies at George Washington University. He earned both his Master’s and post-Master’s degrees. Art presents itself in countless forms. What I cherish most is the kind that brings joy effortlessly. With abstract painting, every stroke allows for new discoveries based on one’s emotions. There are several reasons behind my admiration for abstract art, mainly the freedom in form and interpretation. Before I start painting, I have no clear destination in mind. However, as soon as the first stroke touches the canvas, I find myself immersed in the work. I continue the process until I feel I’ve arrived at a meaningful conclusion. Each piece is improvised; reflecting the emotions of that particular moment. To me, the painting reaches its full potential only when it’s experienced by the viewer. It is the audience that ultimately completes the artwork.
