Sasan Nasernia, began his career primarily as a calligrapher and typography artist. Exploring different avenues in Persian classical and modern calligraphy, he has since expanded his practice to include painting, print, digital work and installation. Nasernia, who has a BFA from Azad Art University of Tehran; explores a myriad of themes in his work. He is broadly interested in playing with the tension between opposing elements of order and chaos. Sometimes borrowing from traditional Persian painting and iconography – he immerses them in abstraction and ambiguity.
