Description
Ali Akbar Beigi was born in 1982 in Tehran, Iran, to an artistic family. He had a passion for painting since childhood and spent most of his time studying it with well-known art teachers. Beigi’s professional painting career began after he received an associate degree in art, along with a Bachelor’s degree in Art (Painting). In 2001, he founded his own gallery and training institute called “Beigi Academy of Art,” and soon after, opened his second branch. Beigi’s Academy is one of the most prestigious and eminent art schools in Tehran, and it is recognised by Iran’s Ministry of Culture. Beigi has attended 15 collective exhibitions and held 4 successful solo exhibitions over the last few years. In addition, he participated in a number of workshops and academic courses, including Imperial Academy of Art classes in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Beigi’s painting style is based around hyperrealism, and his subjects include portraits, figurative art, still life, landscapes, cityscapes, and narrative scenes. He is particularly fond of oil painting and the luminous, rich colours it produces, which he finds more appealing than other paints. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and a Master’s degree in Art in Iran.
