Mohammadreza Mirzaei was born in 1986 in Tehran. He received his master degree from University of Pennsylvania in 2014. He has participated in several international exhibitions and two books have been published on his works. What is absolutely amazing about his work is the border between abstract and realism depicted by him. He cleverly investigates the relation between photographer, the object, light exposure, and form exposure. His exploration on these matters are reflective of his own sensibility and sound that he enjoys sometimes making his viewer puzzled about the image he created.
