Siyamak Ghaffari was born in the land of poetry and wine;
Iran. From the early childhood he was mesmerized by the
world of colors. He always believed the colors were the
bridge between the painter and his subject. Later in his life
he discovered in fact it is not the colors, which act as the
bridge between the painter and subject but the painter
who's the bridge between the subject and the colors.
Siyamak Ghaffari migrated to Canada in 1991. He studied
classical animation in the Vancouver Film School and
graduated in 1997. Immediately after his graduation he
commenced his career for Mercury Film Works company in
Vancouver B.C. "Power Puff Girls" and "Yvon of the Yukon"
are some of the projects Siyamak actively involved in their
productions in the company.
Currently Siyamak resides in Penticton BC, the city of wine
and arts, working as a full-time artist creating paintings and
sculpting. However parallel to his paintings he also works
on making films and animation using his life experience and
powerful tools of painting. His latest work "Scream of
Painting" is a short film about the censorship of exhibiting
the world artists' masterpieces in Iran.
