Boback Emad

Originally trained in Architecture, the Iranian artist Boback discovered his creative calling in the world of sculpture.

In his metal sculptures and paintings made from bitumen, one can see his interest in natural materials and the use of space as raw material.

Guided by his personal experience, he creates works of art that express his internal struggle with memory and place.

His compositions express a powerful geometric language that incorporates both void and matter.

An inherent yearning for a sense of belonging and connection is evident in his public sculptures in Europe and the United States.

Whether working on a monumental stainless steel sculpture or an intimate painting with bitumen or watercolor, his focus is on compositional expressions using geometric exuberance as an expression of the world he sees around him.

Boback exhibits his work in galleries across Europe, the United States, and Mexico.

His monumental public sculptures can be seen around the world in places such as Paris (France), Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and cities in California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington.
