Reza Derakshani

Iran
Artist
Born unknown date

Painter, musician, and performance artist Reza Derakshani was born in Sangsar, northeastern Iran. His early years were spent in a vast black tent atop a mountain, surrounded by horses and fields filled with vibrant blue and yellow wildflowers. As a child, he was fascinated by the patterns of light created by the moon filtering through tiny openings in the tent. This curiosity led him from observing celestial constellations to studying mathematics in high school and later pursuing visual arts in Tehran and the United States.

Derakshani’s artistic and personal journey took him across various continents. After an extensive and winding path, he eventually settled in New York City, where he lived and worked for sixteen years. He later moved to Italy before returning to Tehran, where he spent seven years. In 2010, he left his homeland once more and relocated to Dubai, later making another move back to the United States.

Currently, Derakshani divides his time between Austin, USA, and St. Petersburg, Russia, where he continues his artistic endeavors.
