Mohsen Mosa

B.  Iran

The Design and Weaving Manager of Mousavi Carpet Gallery, established in 1960 under the supervision of Seyed Abolhassan Mousavi Sirat, shares a rich legacy of Persian carpet artistry. Educated by his father, a renowned master in design, dyeing, and weaving, he further honed his craft after graduating in painting and handicrafts. Over the years, he has created iconic works such as The Last Day of Pompeii, Louis XVI’s Wedding, 1001 Nights, and The Last Supper of Jesus Christ.

​

In a groundbreaking move, he introduced computer-aided carpet design to Iran, becoming the first to utilize digital systems for this purpose after acquiring advanced design technologies at the Domotex Fair in Hanover. This innovation enabled the production of machine-woven carpets and led to the creation of a unique collection of 27 carpets inspired by the Shahnameh (The Book of Kings) by Ferdowsi. This pioneering effort marked the first time a carpet series was designed based on a literary masterpiece and is now preserved in the Iranian Carpet Museum.

​

Among his many achievements, he also designed and created portraits of the United Nations Secretary Generals, which are currently housed at the U.N. headquarters in New York. His works have been exhibited in renowned museums worldwide and are highly sought after by collectors.

​

Since 1989, he has trained under Ayden Aghdashloo, further refining his skills in professional design and painting. His artistic journey includes over 30 individual and group exhibitions, participation in international biennials, and a legacy of educating and inspiring the next generation of Persian carpet artisans.
