Profile:
Born in December 1974 in Shahroud, Iran, Amir Mabed showed an early passion for art. He began his formal education in 1991 at Shahroud’s Graphic Arts Vocational School, learning under inspiring mentors. To gain independence and deepen his skills, he joined the workshop of Monir and Mehdi Ghanbighi, where he honed his craft and prepared for higher education.
Artistic Journey:
After graduating in 1995, Amir pursued a degree in Painting at Tehran Azad University. He joined the Charsouye Honar Institute during his studies, where workshops on contemporary art shaped his creative focus. His thesis, exploring installation art, was groundbreaking and earned him recognition at the 3rd Tehran Sculpture Biennial in 2002, where he won third prize.
Amir is a multidisciplinary artist working in sculpture, installation, and performance. His works challenge human concepts, evoke emotions, and use everyday objects to critique cultural and social issues.

The word “Hayula” (Monster) typically connotes something wrong or bad. A monster, in general, has moral or inherent flaws and displays grotesque physical or psychological differences compared to other beings. It can also be described as a strange creation of nature. Furthermore, it can metaphorically apply to an individual with similar traits, such as a greedy person or someone who commits horrific acts.
Given the philosophical nature of the monster as an abstract concept, this collection aims to depict and embody the monsters we have grappled with or lived alongside over the years.
