Ahad Mozafari Kakavand

Ahmad Mozafari Kakavand, known as “Kakavandi”, was born in 1931 in Kermanshah and is one of the pioneers of contemporary Iranian painting. For more than seven decades, inspired by ancient cave paintings, he has portrayed Iran’s history, culture, and identity through his art. A self-taught artist, he creates a bridge between the past and contemporary perspectives.

Deeply devoted to Iranian culture and heritage, Kakavandi continues to create with the same passion and dedication to this day.
