Born in 1965, Mędad was dismissed from Fine Art University in Tehran after matriculating. His exploration of surrealist ideas, were not welcome in Iran’s conservative cultural milieu. Mędad made his debut in the 1980s with exhibiting his surreal paintings at the culture hall of a Randers Museum after moving to Denmark in 1984.Since then Mędad has opened his own galleries at the same time he has exhibited widely in galleries in Denmark and throughout the United States. Mędad taught art in Danish high schools and his own private art school in Copenhagen. After relocating to Palm Beach Florida in the early 90′s, Mędad moved out of his surrealist period, embracing Neo-realism with clear, bright colors and sharp edges. Yet even these apparently traditional subjects were informed Mędad’s trademark sense of ambiguity and his probing questions about the nature of reality. Since 2007 Medad has been living in New York and working on his ideas of Shapes and forms. Mędad has boiled down the whole spectrum of shapes and forms in few universal words and pictures. The philosophy explains the universal shapes; from parts of an atom to movement of stars and planets, from shape of DNA to human designed mechanical cells, from strait tones of Bach to digestible circular language of Mozart, from circular lines of oriental patterns to strait lines of modern design etc…
