“The City of Tehran” by Moez Mirmotahari

Moez Mirmotahari is a multi-disciplinary, self-taught artist, a keen observer of life, and, above all else, an adventurer.

Born in Tehran, Iran his interest in the arts began early with his sculptures crafted from aluminum foils. The skills developed through this interest led him to becoming one of the youngest members of the AIS (Association of Iranian Sculptors).

Through his experimentation and studying of different styles and forms of literature, Moez has penned several poems and short stories in Persian and English. An adept linguist, he is fluent in a number of languages.

He has completed his BAs in English Literature and Management/Accounting as well as an MBA from UC3M in Madrid, Spain.

Currently, his artistic focus is on the art of photography, capturing moments of connection to our current times and in the trails of history. Through the eye of the lens, Moez translates the importance of preserving and illuminating our experience on our environment. Find more of Moez’s work at https://500px.com/moez13
