Mostafa Darehbaghi started his professional career sixteen years ago not only as an artist, but also as an explorer of perspective and visual innovation using variety of skills and diverse set of materials. Mostafa’s work signature is to combine a series of geometric rhythmic patterns with figurative subjects to create a unique abstract atmosphere evident throughout his artwork. He expresses his view towards the figurative style of his art by, “I express the manner of conduct of humans through the use of resembling figures and elements, which creates great enthusiasm for me.” Throughout his career, he has experienced and mastered many fields of media. He has used this experience in his modern works that resemble conceptual and minimalist art. “I use the interconnection of the manner between objects and nature, and the influence they have on me.”

Mostafa work has been exhibited all the world in 28 solo exposition and more than 80 group shows in countries including USA, Sweden, Belgium, Croatia, India, UAE, Iran and others.
