Ali Akbar Sadeghi was born in 1937 in Iran. He is one of the most prolific and successful Iranian painters and artists. Ali Akbar Sadeghi graduated from the College of Arts and the University of Tehran. He began teaching art at school in the 1950s, before entering university in 1958. His early works were done in watercolors, but in 1959, shortly after entering college, Ali Akbar Sadeghi became interested in oil painting. He initiated a distinctive style in Persian painting, influenced by Coffee House painting, iconography and traditional Iranian portraiture, in the spirit of the Qajar tradition - which is a mixture of a kind of surrealism using the art of stained glass. Ali Akbar Sadeghi adopted this style in his early works in the field of graphics and illustration. The artist is one of the first persons involved in the development and establishment of the Center for Intellectual Development of Children and Youth and is one of the founders of the Animation Cinematography Department and the head of the department at the University of Tehran. In addition to illustration, Ali Akbar Sadeghi has published several books for the Center for Child and Youth Development, and made several successful films using his special style of painting. After the Iranian Revolution, Sadeghi took up painting seriously. In 1989, he founded his own Gallery, where he actively and constantly organized exhibitions of works by Iranian artists. His painting style is a kind of Iranian surrealism, based on Iranian forms and compositions from traditional paintings, the use of Iranian icon painting, and the use of Persian cultural traditional motifs and myths, full of movement and action, reminiscent of epic traditional Persian painting and illustration, while adhering to the ethnic decorative style .
