Reza Bangiz, a contemporary Iranian artist renowned for his work in printing, painting, and sculpture, was born in Tehran in 1937. His artistic journey began at a young age, influenced by his mother's glass engraving and his father's stint painting on glass in Paris. Reflecting on his early inspiration, Bangiz recalls, "My interest in art started in childhood when I saw an advertisement in the newspaper announcing that the Boys Academy of Fine Arts was accepting students."

Bangiz graduated in painting from the Tehran Conservatory of Fine Arts in 1961. He pursued further studies in England but encountered challenges that prompted his return to Iran. Back home, he joined the Ministry of Culture and Guidance and later taught at the Mirak Conservatory in Tabriz, where he developed a strong interest in Linocut. His works were exhibited in Tabriz during this period. After six years of teaching, Bangiz moved to Isfahan, where he explored pottery.

In 1972, Bangiz received a scholarship from the National Oil Company to study in France for a year. Upon his return, he resumed teaching at the Tehran Academy of Fine Arts. Drawing on his experiences in Isfahan, he began creating paintings on baked mud, which he exhibited at the Sheikh Gallery in 1978. That same year, he embarked on another one-year scholarship to the United States. Bangiz's artworks have been exhibited extensively both in Iran and internationally, with regular participation in Tehran's biennials, where he received awards and honors, including the Order of Culture and Art.

Bangiz's artistic style incorporates elements of folk art, spells, and prayers, often imbued with a humorous tone. Critic Pakbaz notes the distinctiveness of his prints, describing them as having "a simple and humorous form of expression." He adds "Bangiz employs various substrates such as colored patchworks, canvas, cardboard, and even newspapers for his prints, often creating large-scale, single-piece works to enhance their graphic impact."
