Hello! I'm Amir Fazelian, an Iranian portrait artist born in 1986, currently living and working in my hometown of Hamedan. My artistic endeavors mainly focus on large-scale photo realist portraiture, where I explore the nuances of human faces drawn from various media such as magazines, films, and television. My mark-making style mimics the horizontal blurs and pixelated effects seen in TV stills and digital images, creating a unique visual experience. I studied Urban Design at Islamic Azad University, Sciences and Research Branch, completing my studies in 2011. Using brushes and palette knives, I bring portraits to life, blending acrylic, oil, and watercolor techniques. I am always inspired by the human face's expressions and the stories they convey through different media forms.…Hello!
