Ebrahim Faraji, a versatile artist encompassing painting, cinematography, and art education, was born in Tehran in 1938. Faraji's academic journey led him to the Academy of Dramatic Arts, where he pursued a major in cinematography. It was during the mid-1340s that Faraji ventured into the realm of painting, initially participating in extracurricular classes at the academy.

His debut exhibition took place within the walls of the same institution in 1344, marking the inception of his artistic career. However, it was in 1971 that Faraji held his first solo exhibition at the Seyhoun Gallery, followed by subsequent exhibitions at the Sullivan Gallery. In 1974, coinciding with the 7th Tehran Asian Games, he contributed to a group exhibition featuring contemporary Iranian artists, among other collective showcases. In 1978, he pursued further training in France to enhance his artistic prowess.

Throughout his years of artistic activity, particularly after the 1979 revolution, Faraji concurrently engaged in art education alongside his pursuits in cinema and painting. He served as an educator at the Fine Arts Conservatory for Boys and Girls and held the position of head at the Kamal Al-Molk Conservatory from 1994 to 1995. In 2008, a commemorative event was organized in his honor at the Fine Arts Academy, showcasing his oeuvre. Additionally, he served as an art affairs expert at the Ministry of Guidance for a period.

Faraji's artistic explorations traversed various trends, with influences ranging from post-impressionism to surrealism. His paintings exhibit a diverse range of strokes and color palettes, encompassing elements of Impressionism and Fauvism. Notably, his self-portraits, a significant portion of his body of work, often depict the artist in his studio surrounded by painting tools. In addition to portraiture, Faraji delved into still life and natural landscape paintings, frequently employing watercolor techniques.

Beyond the realm of painting, Faraji made notable contributions to cinema, creating short films and participating in festivals. Among his notable works are "Magic Machine" and "Visual Studies." Ebrahim Faraji passed away in 2004 at the age of 66, leaving behind a rich legacy in both the visual arts and cinematography.
