Naser Hooshmand Vaziri was born in 1946 in Hamedan, Iran. Between 1966 and 1971, he studied sculpture at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Tehran. In 1973, he began working at the Tehran Museum of Natural History and created several sculptures for public spaces. In 1993, Iran's National Art Evaluation Council awarded him the First Degree in Art (equivalent to a PhD), and in 1995, he won the top prize at the First Tehran Sculpture Biennial.
Vaziri was a pioneer of contemporary sculpture in Iran and played a significant role in preserving Iranian myths and cultural heritage through his work. He began his professional career in the 1960s and was among the first Iranian artists to use fiberglass in sculpture. He created over 800 works, many of which are installed in parks, museums, and public spaces throughout Iran.
In 2000, Vaziri moved to Lavasan, in the Alborz foothills, where he established the "Vaziri Cave Museum"—the first private cave museum in Iran. This unique space blends nature and art, housing sculptures inspired by Ferdowsi’s "Shahnameh" and Persian mythology, carved into the mountainside. Naser Hooshmand Vaziri passed away in 2019.
