Aref Niazi, a caricaturist, cartoonist, illustrator, designer, and graphic artist, is best known for his work in digital art and NFTs.
Niazi was born in 1995 in Kermanshah. He studied mathematics and later received a bachelor's degree in educational sciences. He began seriously pursuing art at the age of 18. From the ages of 20 to 25, he participated in various festivals and, throughout his professional career, has won over 25 international and domestic awards in fields such as poster design and caricature.
In his works, Niazi focuses on self-awareness and understanding those around him. To depict less commonly expressed emotions, he creates various characters. To better convey these emotions, he simplifies and makes the characters in his works more minimalistic using geometric shapes. Niazi's techniques often involve oil on canvas, and in some works, he uses watercolor. Due to his interest in digital art, he has converted some of his paintings into NFTs.
