Hamid Soufi

By LatAm ARTE

Hamid Soufi is a Persian caricaturist, teacher, designer and painter. He began his artistic career as a member of the “Lorestan Cartoon Council” and published his artwork in specialized publications such as “Yam e Yam”, “Hamshahri” and “Aftab e Yazd”. His professional artistic career includes numerous design and animation awards and participation in international competitions in Portugal, China, South Coria and Argentina. The study of anthropology has led Hamid to investigate hidden layers of human life and learn the traditions of other communities and has helped him a lot to express his own attitudes. He believes that Kambiz Derambakhsh is the best Persian caricaturist whose art will remain forever. In addition, he talks about artistic movements in other countries and says: “I think that most of the cartoonists working with the best press in Iran are from provinces other than Tehran, and the number of them has been increasing lately.” Hamid Soufi is now the secretary of the cartoon section of the Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA), in addition to collaborating with prestigious national and international magazines.
