Pooyan Sobhani

Pooyan Sobhani is an Iranian multidisciplinary artist based in Limassol, Cyprus,
with over 25 years of experience in painting. Self-taught and deeply influenced
by surrealism and figurative tradition, his works explore the theatre of human
existence — blending mythology, symbolism, and narrative in richly layered
oil paintings. His art has been exhibited and sold internationally, including
in Malaysia, Turkey, Dubai, and Iran. Beyond painting, Pooyan is an accomplished
musician, percussionist, and goldsmith — a creative breadth that deeply informs
the complexity and texture of his visual work. He is a member of the Iranian
Artists House.
