Changiz Jalayer

Changiz Jalayer was born in 1975 in Tehran-Iran. He graduated from Venice Art Academy-Italy in Conceptual Art and completed his master of Photography at The High Institute of Industrial Art(ISIA).
Changiz expresses his attitude in many different media, particularly in Photography, influenced by studying in Italy, university professors, and European cultural movements, with the main concept of Intercultural communication and common social themes for sharing his personal experiences and concerns as an artist with others.

These challenges led him to start his research, which became an ongoing personal and social identity project, which people would explore among his artworks. Within meticulous attention to detail significantly shows his interest in seeking his true self and roots while discovering traditional cultures and beliefs, real image, and cognition affected by time and place. Thus, the work of art not only allows the artist to identify himself with his work but in so far as art is born out of and in everyday experience, the work of art also reflects the community to which the artist belongs.
