Reza Bangiz, a contemporary Iranian printer, and sculptor was born in 1937 in Tehran. He became interested in art from an early age. "My mother occasionally engraved on glass. He cut the glass. My father also went to Paris for a while and painted on glass. But he drew a line. I have been interested in art since I was a child" he said. I was in the tenth grade of high school when one day I saw in a newspaper that wrote: Boys Academy of Fine Arts accepts students,” said Bangiz about his childhood.

Bangiz graduated in painting from Tehran Conservatory of Fine Arts in 1961. He then went to England to continue his education, but due to some problems he was forced to return to Iran. After returning to Iran, he was employed by the Ministry of Culture and Guidance, and went to Tabriz to teach at Mirk Conservatory. During this period, he followed Linocut's work more seriously and exhibited his works in Tabriz. After six years of teaching, he moved to Isfahan, where he became acquainted with pottery.

 In 1972, he won a scholarship from the National Oil Company and went to France for a one-year study opportunity. After returning to the Tehran Academy of Fine Arts, he started studying again. Using what he had stored in Isfahan, he created paintings on baked mud and exhibited the product in 1978 in Sheikh Gallery. In the same year, he won a one-year scholarship and went to the United States. Bangiz artworks have been exhibited many times inside and outside Iran. He has been continuously present in the Tehran biennials and has won the second and fourth biennial awards and also has the Order of Culture and Art in his record. Reza Bangiz's first appearance in the auctions dates back to October 2010 at the Sotheby's auction house. 

Bangiz uses elements of folk art, spells and prayers with a humorous tone. Pakbaz writes about the peculiarity of his prints: "His designs have a simple and humorous form and expression. He chooses different substrates for printing his designs: colored Patchworks, canvas, cardboard and even newspapers. "He often makes his stamps one-piece and in large dimensions, thereby making their graphic effect more pronounced." Besides, Bangiz has also had experiences in sculpture, engraving and pottery.
