About Arman Khorramak
Arman Khorramak, born in 1986 in Tehran, Iran, is an emerging artist in the field of visual communication. He has a Master’s degree in Visual Communication from the Islamic Azad University of Central Tehran Branch.
In 2009, he showed his works in the prestigious “Worldwide Graphic Design book” by ZEIX, gaining recognition on an international scale. His contributions to the “Vitrin book,” a compilation celebrating 35 years of contemporary Iranian book cover designs, further underscore his influence in the field.
In October 2021, he participated in a group exhibition titled “Micro-Macro” at Studio Fornaresio in Turin, Italy. His involvement in the international selection of the Luxembourg Art Prize in both 2022 and 2023 earned him certificates of recognition, affirming his place in the global art community.
In November 2023, Arman was featured as a distinguished artist in the global art exhibition “Hi, Hey! Hello.” hosted by the Dog and Bone Gallery in Brighton, England. The exhibition spanned both physical and virtual realms, underscoring Arman’s versatility in adapting to contemporary art forms and platforms.
Hue&Eye recently interviewed him to know more about how he became an artist and what drove him to make art.
Hello Arman! When or how have you understood you wanted to become an artist?
I always knew I wanted to become an artist since I was a child.
Can you briefly say something about your technique and tell us what drives you to make art?
My thesis at university was based on semiology and it helped me to find the meanings of the elements in different references. What inspires me is the silent whispers of every day that can be heard in music, literature, my dreams, and my background. As an introverted person, by making art I can talk or explain myself and my thoughts in a way that I can’t do in verbal language.
What is the main feature that has changed in your works or practice throughout the years?
I’ve paid attention to the details, elements, and the connection between them, but more than those, it has been more important to me to tell a story through the images I created.
Which artist primarily inspires your work? And is there something else, outside visual arts, that keeps you motivated?
Caravaggio. Above all music. Then cinema and literature have kept me motivated.
How would you like people to engage with your work?
Through my work, I wish people to perceive things not as they perceive them in ordinary life.
Spread the word! Do you have anything exciting on the horizon?
I have many etudes to make them into final works shortly. Despite struggling sometimes, I’m eager to go on to enjoy creating.
