More info: Davar Yousefi, a teacher and contemporary painter, was born in Khalkhal, Ardabil. He has been interested in art since he was a teenager. After graduation, until age 26, Davari pursued painting personally and sporadically; Until 1989, when his art training path took a more solemn form.
He completed his bachelor's and master's degree in painting at Islamic Azad University. In 1994, he held his first solo exhibition at Aria Gallery in Tehran. Since then, he has exhibited his works solo and in groups inside and outside Iran and has been working as an art teacher at Soureh, Al-Zahra, and Azad Islamic universities. In addition to painting, he has also created murals with mosaics in public spaces in Tehran.
Yousefi's paintings have a primitive taste. Human and animal figures are the central motifs of his works. Preparations such as abstract painting, dissecting organs, and drawing figures in a flat form and from a full-length or half-length angle are reminiscent of ancient artworks from Cairo to Lorestan.
The composition of his works and the use of spatial perspective also give an archaic effect to the paintings. Judgment interferes in drawing figures in the two axes of coexistence and substitution of organs, and by intersecting parts of the figure or expanding and extending it by repeating parts such as the head, it creates its own mythological characters.
Raw and primitive finishing and working with colors that are close to native organic colors in some paintings are consistent and synergistic with this artist's subjects and painting approach.
