Adel Younesi, a contemporary painter from Iran, now lives in Turkey. He gained early recognition by winning first prizes at the 13th Youth Visual Arts Festival in 2003 and the third Young Visual Arts Festival at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Arts in 2004.

 

His career took off with solo exhibitions in Tehran, catching the attention of the art world, including the Museum of Contemporary Arts, which purchased one of his works.

 

Younesi's art, known for its dreamlike quality and references to historical and art imagery, has been showcased internationally, including in Paris galleries.

 

His works first appeared at Christie's auction in April 2011 and have since been featured in both domestic and international auctions.
