Saeed Rafiee Monfard, a painter, was born in Tehran. He started his art education at Islamic Azad University in painting. Then he entered Tarbiat Modares University to continue his master's degree. Although he finally left the post-graduate course half-finished. He has been a permanent member of the Iranian Painters Association and is an honorary member of the Visual Arts Development Institute. Rafiee Mofared has been active in the educational and academic environment for many years. Among these, we can mention teaching at Semnan Art University and Islamic Azad University. Also, since 1992, he has been writing film reviews for Cinema Weekly. In 1994, Rafiee Monfared exhibited his works for the first time in Tehran's Afrand Gallery as an individual. Since the 2000s, he has also collaborated with galleries such as Mah, Haft Samar, and Tarahane-e-Azad in solo exhibitions. He also has participated in more than twenty-five group exhibitions inside and outside Iran.

In his paintings, Rafiee Mofard follows a representational and realistic approach. Although he belongs to the generation brought up under the teachings of Iranian modernist masters, he deliberately distanced himself from his prescriptive currents. Of course, this reaction is not specific to this artist and can be found in many other artists of the 90s. In an interview, he said: "Unfortunately, many of our professors considered modernism compatible with deconstruction and formalism, which was a mistake. Because I think they didn't know modern thinking with its broad aspects and possibilities. Therefore, they believed a modernist artist creates abstractly or breaks forms! Well, we came from this educational background and wanted to get out from under the influence of this trend." He draws human figures against a concrete wall or space vacuum in his paintings. The relationships of human figures with the surrounding environment and other figures present in the scene also have a symbolic aspect. This connection originates from the narrative character of the images. In his words, the painter confirms his interest in narration and emphasizes it.
