Reza Bakshi, a self-taught artist, was born in Tehran. He revealed his talent in art from his childhood. A talent that attracted the attention of the school principal in the first academic year, and his encouragement became the basis for the continuation of art. He learned painting as a self-taught, and he started his work by copying famous works. At 19, he recreated copies of paintings such as "Ivan the Terrible" by the Russian painter Ilya Repin and Shishkin's nature paintings. At the beginning of his youth, he started his own school and taught painting and drawing.

Between 1981 and 1983, he created religious paintings for the Shohada Museum. We can mention the two paintings "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim" and "Ina Lilah wanna Ilayhi Raji'un." Also, in a conversation with one of his students named Shahid Ahmad Esmaili, who told him: "Master, this is not the time for these talks; depict the truth of your existence in the heart of your works," the design of the "Sacrifice" tableau appeared in his mind. This work was later bought by the Shohada Museum. In addition to practical activities, Bakhshi has also had various research activities in painting. His paintings fluctuate between abstraction and realism. The motifs and elements of his paintings have a symbolic load that is placed on an apocalyptic and mysterious background and depict the narratives and themes he considers.
