Arian Nowbahari

Arian Nowbahari is an italian painter, film director, and electronic engineer based in Oslo, Norway.
He was born in Sassari, Italy, on February 24th 1995.

Nowbahari's painting research centers on observing the outer world, feeling inner worlds, and portraying the connection between these dimensions. He views painting as an introspective tool akin to a camera, emphasizing the process over the final product. For Nowbahari, the act of painting itself conveys a message, offering a glimpse into the artist's emotional depths. From the observer's perspective, a painting acts as a catalyst for personal reflection, with the viewer's experiences shaping interpretation. Nowbahari's style blends neo-expressionism with abstract and minimalist elements, often employing contrasting colors and a mix of figurative and symbolic imagery. Influenced by artists like Georgia O'Keeffe and Pablo Picasso, philosophers Friedrich Nietzsche and Emil Cioran, and poets Pablo Neruda and Charles Baudelaire, his work explores themes of melancholy, femininity, nature, and existentialism. Currently, he delves into the nuances of emotions often avoided, seeking to evoke a profound sense of aliveness in his art.
