JELBERT KARAMI

     I am Jelbert Karami. I was born in Tehran, Iran, in 1985. My love and passion for painting started at the age of 14 after seeing the beautiful paintings by one of the greatest Iranian poets and painters, Sohrab Sphere, at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art.

STATEMENT

    If I must tell you about my paintings and their subjects, I cannot describe to you the
feeling I have when I am creating them; however, instead, I am asking you to look at them deeply so you could discover for yourself a new unique feeling. I do not want them to have labels. I do not desire to give you details about them like a peeled orange that is ready to be eaten because you must peel the orange yourself to experience that special taste and feeling behind it.

About Me

     I am Jelbert Karami. I was born in Tehran, Iran, in 1985. My love and passion for painting started at the age of 14 after seeing the beautiful paintings by one of the greatest Iranian poets and painters, Sohrab Sphere, at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art. I started learning painting, drawing, and art history with a master's in Tehran, mounting my first solo exhibition there in 2005. At the age of twenty, I committed my life to art, starting to paint professionally, holding workshops in private clubs in the city.
