Adel Younesi, a contemporary painter, was born in Hamedan. In 2003, Younesi won the first prize at the 13th Youth Visual Arts Festival, and In the same year, he held the first solo exhibition at Ibn Sina Cultural and Art Institute. In 2004, he won the first prize at the third young visual arts festival held at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Arts. After that, he started collaborating with the capital's galleries, and by having his first solo exhibition at the Sheiss Gallery in Tehran, he attracted the art community's attention. The Museum of Contemporary Arts bought one of his artworks after this exhibition. He has exhibited his artworks in galleries such as Mahe Mehr, Assar, and Shirin during his career. The artist's first international appearance was at the Nicolas Flamel Gallery in Paris, and by signing a contract with the Laurent Strock Gallery in Paris, he continued his career in this country. His last solo exhibition was held in 2021 with the title "Vakavi" in Seyhoun Gallery, Tehran.

Yunsi's paintings have a dreamy and imaginative mood. Most of all, he is influenced by the English painter Justin Mortimer. Technically (coloring method, representation, perspective, etc.), Younesi's paintings are entirely objective and representational. He creates stunning images by putting incongruous elements together, such as animals, cars, historical figures, etc., and placing them in unfamiliar situations, such as the underwater world. His paintings have many references to famous works of art history and historical images of Iran and the world. His bright and varied color choices give the paintings a decorative aspect. All these features and arrangements ultimately serve to create a visual "carnival" in its Bakhtinic sense and create an atmosphere between dream and nightmare. These thematic contradictions, the multiplicity of referential layers, and the use of the historical images treasures place his works in the category of postmodernist art.

The first appearance of Younesi's artworks in auctions dates back to April 2011 at Christie's auction house. Until June 2022, his works have appeared 9 times in different domestic and international auctions, and 55% of them have been sold.
