Alireza Adambakan, a painter, was born in Tehran. He received his painting diploma from the Boys Academy of Fine Arts in Tehran in 1995. He continued painting at the Islamic Azad University and graduated in 2007 with a bachelor's degree. One year before graduation, he participated in the 6th Biennale of Contemporary Painting at the Museum of Contemporary Arts of Iran.
The first international appearance of Adambakan was at the same time as he graduated from Geneva Art Fair Europe. In 1381, Adambakan exhibited his paintings individually at the Elahe Gallery in Tehran for the first time. Two years later, he participated in the third international painting biennale of the Islamic world, held at the Saba cultural center in Tehran. The same year, his artworks appeared in the Art Expo group exhibition in Vahdat Hall, Tehran. In 2009, one year after his solo exhibition at Tehran Art Gallery, his works were exhibited in the group exhibition "1001 Colors, Contemporary Art from Iran" in New York City. Adambakan's works of 2010 and 2015 have been presented as a representative of Iran's contemporary art at the Istanbul Contemporary Art Fair. Since then, his artworks have been displayed both inside and outside Iran, individually and in groups. In the meantime, Adambakan has cooperated with Tehran's Art Gallery and continuously exhibited his works in this gallery.
Mehrnoosh Alimaddi writes on the occasion of holding an exhibition of Adambakan's works in the art gallery: "We have always seen concerns about culture, politics, religion, and society in the works of Adambakan. He is a painter who has spent moments dominated by the society in which he lives. He has often spoken clearly about his lived experience, tied to a concrete mentality that has always put opposites together. In his new paintings titled "Asra," which means endless, we see an emotional and direct expression; the design of people who are the main focus of the paintings represents a state of chaos and turmoil. The people in these paintings struggle with pain but also seem to find a way to get rid of it. Brilliant and tense colors are scattered everywhere in the painting, and each expresses a symbolic state."
