Hamidreza Shafiei and the Distinctive Women in the Paintings of Afshin Pirhashemi at Boom Gallery, Tehran

CEO of Vesta Color : Afshin Pirhashemi is a singular figure in the Middle Eastern art scene. For three consecutive years, he was listed among the world’s 500 most expensive artists by the Paris-based institutions Artprice and FIAC. At the same time, the conceptual core of his painting reflects an unprecedented narrative of the Middle East—most notably through his powerful and unconventional depictions of Middle Eastern women.
