“We conquer the mountain because it is unattainable”

Since Alireza Astaneh is a master calligrapher, the Persian descriptions in his drawings are rendered in calligraphy itself. Astaneh is a unique artist who overlooks no detail.

He stands as a singular contemporary artist, one with a deep scholarly background, who has begun to beautifully integrate calligraphy with metalwork, casting, sculpture, and form—all imbued with sophisticated concepts.
Astaneh is recognized as an artist who creates phenomena, distilling them from their conventional values while still honoring them. By reducing calligraphy to its essence, his works operate on a distinct principle. The formal structure of his pieces is inspired by the purity of Minimalism, a quality also reflected in the titles of his series.
