Born and raised in Tehran, Iran, and with a BFA in sculpture from the University of Tehran, Ashkan Nejadebrahimi moved to Canada to study MFA at the University of Manitoba.

As a multi-disciplinary artist, he has participated in group exhibitions both in Tehran and Winnipeg and collaborated with filmmakers and other Video artists as a movie and video editor. His current artistic practice is focused on abstract drawing and sculpture.

Subjects of Ashkan’s practice vary on each project including intersections of fantasy and reality, and currently, he is interested in the concept of monsters and how they have been created in each era to define moral and existential challenges faced by societies.
