Madjid

Madjid moves us through his unconscious expressionism. Everything that he forms is full of his inner vitality. People and landscapes achieve their own dimension.

Madjid was born in Teheran in 1943, son to the well known artistic Rahnavadkar family, both the grandfather and brother were also well-appreciated amongst their countrymen.

He has been painting and sculpturing since he was fifteen. In 1959 he was honoured with the French-Persian RASI prize for his painting and a year later for his sculptures.

Madjid has lived in Munich for over 25 years and is a renowned artists in the Munich scene.

Madjid moves us through his unconscious expressionism. Everything that he forms is full of his inner vitality. People and landscapes achieve their own dimension. Rather than focusing on the detail and the structure,

Madjid suggests only the aspects that relate to mood, essence and atmosphere. He captures the world in powerful blurs of colour and light, as though experiencing it in brief glimpses through only half-opened eyes.

Madjid’s paintings are a ‘self-portrait’ of himself, they emphasise his passionate energy and casual demeanour, his simple zest for life and almost flippant regard for particulars. As a man with a keen ear for jazz, his art follows the same philosophies – loose, colourful and infinitely expressive.

His works can be found in many private collections in Europe, America and Asia.
