Bahman Borojeni was born in 1942. A student of Hazrat Shah Maghsoud and Hazrat Nader Shah Angha, he did his studies based on multiple artistic domains: painting, graphics, architecture, sculpture, a doctorate in archeology…Among his principal professors one can cite Hanibal Alkhas and Yvan Gerard.

A university professor for twenty years, he also was director of the Beaux Arts of Tehran from 1979 to 1981.

With more than one hundred and ten shows to his name, he has exhibited in such countries as Iran, France, Norway, United States and Japan.

In Montmartre, despite his reserve and discrete style, Bahman has imposed his smiling silhouette and his work in constant graphic evolution. One can see him work, ruthless and free, at the Place du Tertre; here he has dreamt and worked at a place that fits him like a glove. His attitude of "grand seigneur" and graciousness form a contrast to the usual bitter, mercantile, and "grinchy"-ness that surround him.

Bahman Borojeni appears more and more like a true lyricist; the superb techniques, used during his first classic period, are the foundation for later works that can be described as "hauntedly enchanting" where matter vibrates and is given density and illumination in a corresponding chromatic sensual symphony.

It can be stated that a poetic hurricane inspires the will of his artistic brushes in a perpetual and gracious dream-like illuminations. Forms are liberated in order to reveal parallel truths, that a Parisian bistro ondulates on the magic harmonics of a "clavier" where all the reality of the quotidian danses (daily grind) and is electrified via unknown calligraphies.

His work is an ode to light, to the sense, to life, all seriously celebrated with grace and lightness; his works are a melancholic call to the joy of seeing, of living and creating -- a secret compartment within the fragility of things. J.M. Gabert
