Madjid was born in Tehran in 1943, into the well known artistic Rahnavadkar family. Both

his grandfather and his brother were also well-revered artists. As just a young man in the

late 50s he was awarded several prestigious international art prizes for both his paintings

and his sculptures.

Madjid has lived in Europe for almost 30 years, over 25 in Munich. He is one of the renowned

group of artists of the Munich scene, where his artistic expression developed. He has been

a contemporary favourite among collectors for many years.

How Madjid really moves us is through his unconscious impressionism. Everything that

he forms is full of his inner vitality. People and landscapes achieve their own dimension.

Rather than focusing on the detail and the structure, Madjid suggests only the aspects

that relate to mood, essence and atmosphere. He captures the world in powerful blurs of

colour and light, as though experiencing it in brief glimpses through only half opened eyes.

Madjid’s paintings are in many ways a ‘self portrait’ of himself - they emphasise his

passionate energy and casual demeanour, his simple zest for life and almost flippant regard

for particulars. As a man with a keen ear for jazz, his art follows the same philosophies -

loose, colourful and infinitely expressive.

His ability and industriousness have made him a recognised name with a formidable

reputation on the international art scene. His work is widely enjoyed across the UK, Europe,

America and Asia, and it can be found in many leading private collections around the world.
