Shafiee’s art is a heartfelt homage to his Persian heritage. “I strive to be a small part of the rich culture and history of my country, which spans over 11,000 years,” he says. His illustrations draw inspiration from traditional myths, legends, and contemporary Iranian fairytales.

The post Morteza Momayez appeared first on Iranian International Society of Illustrators (IISI).

Born in Rasht, Iran, in 1938, Mohassess demonstrated artistic talent from an early age, reportedly drawing his first picture, an army general, at just 3 years old. He graduated with a degree in political science from Tehran University in 1962 and soon gained recognition for his political illustrations in Iranian newspapers. His work later appeared in prominent international publications, including The New York Times and The Nation.

In 1976, Mohassess traveled to the United States for what was intended to be a brief visit. However, following the 1979 Iranian Revolution, which replaced the Pahlavi monarchy with a theocratic regime under Ayatollah Khomeini, he chose to remain in the U.S., eventually settling in New York.
