ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
KAMBIZ SHARIF was born in 1978 in Tabriz, Iran. During his teenage years, Sharif developed
an interest in art, taking pictures and drawing sketches and using different materials, clay,
wood, etc. to make models. From 1992 to 1996 he attended the Mirak Arts School in Tabriz,
earning his Art Diploma.
After graduation Sharif moved to Tehran where he opened a studio and began working in
sculpture full-time, using form to express his thoughts and feelings. Sharif opened his own
sculptural school in 2001 with classes in clay, wood, stone, and in bronze casting.
Sharif migrated to Vancouver Canada just over two years ago and has started a new life,
opening a studio in Vancouver where he continues his sculptural practice. His abstract works
utilize intricate conceptual ideas and draw their inspiration from the broader social world as
well as everyday life and timeless concepts of beauty.
During his years as a practicing artist, he has received many awards and recognitions,
including the first place prize in the Third Tehran Sculpture Biennial in 2002, a diploma in
Arts from the Ministry of Arts and Culture in 2003, and the Diploma of Courageous Ideas in
Art from the Fourth Tehran Sculpture Biennial in 2004.
Sharif is a member of the Institute for the Promotion of Visual Arts in Iran, a member of the
Society of Iranian Sculptors in Tehran, Iran, and a member of the International Sculptors
Center. His works have been shown both in solo and group exhibitions in Iran as well as in
galleries internationally.
