Kourosh Amini, is an abstract artist influenced by the early beginning of art, he explored the magic capabilities of abstraction in forms and symbols from all over the world with a specific attention to American Indian and African Art. His works have been seen in private and public exhibitions in Europe and the United States. Kourosh Amini was born in Rabat, Morocco in 1969. By the age of fifteen he had lived on four continents. During these formative years, ten of which were spent in Paris, a personal vision was impressed. Once Amini had settled into New York City in the 1980’s his work as a graphic artist and a painter began. In his travels in the U.S. he began to absorb those elements he saw in the arts of people indigenous to the Northwest, Southwest and Hawaii. He gained inspiration from his understanding of nature’s dynamic functionality expressed through abstraction in these early cultures.The inherent sentiment of the sacred in nature ennobled in tribal art has remained with Amini. His many years spent living in urban settings, significantly New York City, surface in his paintings as a complexity of intricate relationships that suggest a verticality of forms constructed of flashing color and motion. The energy of the city combined with Amini’s earliest impressions inscribed by Persian and Arabic cultures and his quest to compose music continue to generate in his work a modern mix of pulsing rhythms akin to music. An occult vitality resides in the confluence of these influences. Amini says that “if children like my art works then I have created something worthwhile” Kourosh Amini has created more than fifteen hundred works of art, many which have been exhibited and collected in France, New York, and New Mexico.
