Fakhraddin Mokhberi is nationally recognized as one of Iran’s finest realism contemporary painters today. He was born October 5th 1965 in Iran. At the age of 19, he began his serious art training by attending Tehran University Art courses. Later he continued learning at Katouzian Art Institute, run by Morteza Katouzian. Katouzian is famed realism artist and greatest painter in Iran at the current time. Under Katoozian’s tutelage, Mokhberi learned how to develop his talent in sketching along concentration on colors and amplified his understanding from tone and light in generating forms.

Interviewed for an article, Mokhberi recalls, “realism artist should benefit from deep and precise knowledge of society in his or her art. My ultimate aim is developing my skills to highest level possible, never stop learning and enjoy any opportunity in this journey”.

Great draftsmanship is the root of masterpiece. Other major influences in Mokhberi’s work include Katouzian, Rembrandts, Rubens and Shishkin. Some Mokhberi’s works reflect both classical and modern interpretations juxtaposed within one painting. His influences range from the Renaissance to the Masters of the Nineteenth Century in Contemporary Art. He started live tutoring programs on national TV of Iran for three following years (2002-2004) for the first time.

As Mokhberi stated in a written article ,” I grew up in semi-rural surrounds which gave me an appreciation for nature” . As you can see many of his artwork has been inspired by beauty and mystery in landscape.

Mokhberi has graduated Master of Art from the British University of Derby. He has established his academy for tutoring painting in different styles like realism, surrealism, impressionism since 2002 and every year under his supervision, talented students will be able to obtain Diploma and Associate degree from this academy.

His work has been exhibited throughout the Europe and Asia, including the Iran’s contemporary Art Museum and War Museum. The artist has received numerous accolades, including finalist in of  Art Renewal Center – ARC competition in two following years 2011-2012 and 2012-2013.
