Qeas Pirzad

Pirzad studied at the Royal Academy of Art at the Hague before moving to Berlin to work as an artist. His bodies of work utilize multiple styles and disciplines to communicate his rich lessons learned from the various parts of the world and social strata he has occupied.

As a multidisciplinary artist, Pirzad works with oil on canvas, digital collage, sculpture, and performance art. In his 2019 solo show in Berlin, Pirzad exhibited his body of work entitled The First Awakening. The collection of oil paintings completed between 2018 and 2019 illustrated a new reality of Pirzad’s creation. And then continued to live, create and showcase more of his works in Berlin, Los Angeles and Saudi Arabia.

He imagines this reality as one in which he can occupy multiple realms of his life without abandoning one for another. This multiplicity is revisited throughout Pirzad’s bodies of work. The dream-like compositions of Pirzad’s projects invite audiences to a visual journey free from boundaries. He hopes that this journey catalyzes viewers’ own awakenings.
