Hiva Alizadeh Hiva Alizadeh

Hiva Alizadeh (b. 1989, Kerman, Iran) lives and works in London, UK. Alizadeh is a self-trained artist whose work is rooted in the Persian tradition and the millenary skill of weaving Kerman carpets, although he applies his technique and knowledge to a different material, creating a contemporary interpretation of traditional textures, adding a cosmopolitan and psychic touch. Alizadeh's woven tapestries are created using synthetic hair extensions that he composes in vibrant chromatic landscapes.

These multicolored landscapes embody a complex interpretation of Eastern and Western cultural mechanisms in the contemporary global era.

The combination of tradition and contemporary aesthetics in Alizadeh's works has gradually attracted the attention of collectors worldwide. His pieces are housed in reputable public and private collections across Europe, the Middle East, China, and the United States including the AKZONOBEL Art Foundation in Amsterdam, PALAŽZO MONTI in Brescia, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation in Los Angeles, and the Kerman Museum of Contemporary Art in lran.
