Short Bio

I create sculptures inspired by the stories that live in my dreams and imagination.

Statement

 I've been connected to art since I was a child. At first, I used to draw, but over time, my imagination wanted those drawings to come alive and step out of the page. For the past few years, I’ve been creating sculptures. Most of my pieces are born from stories that appear in my mind on their own—because honestly, I spend more time in dreams than in reality. People around me sometimes think I’m not paying attention, but in truth, my mind is busy sketching, storytelling, or solving puzzles. Each sculpture I make is a glimpse into one of those dreams. Simply put: I build and live my world through imagination and stories.

Biography

Reza Hemati has been familiar with art since childhood. In the beginning, he painted—but soon, his imagination demanded that his paintings come to life in three dimensions. For the past several years, he has been creating sculptures. Each of his pieces is born from stories that naturally unfold in his mind, as he often lives in dreams more than in the physical world. To those around him, it may seem as though he's not present, because his mind is constantly immersed in puzzles, stories, and design. In truth, all his sculptures are visual manifestations of the tales that live within him. To put it simply: Reza lives life through dreams and stories.
