Artist Profile | Cartoon & Caricature

Farzane Vaziritabar

He was born in 1987. He is a sculptor and caricaturist. “I had contact with art for the first time at home, with my family, and little by little I became closer to this world. My first academic art experience began when I chose painting as my high school program. Over the next few years I became enchanted by the possibilities of becoming an artist in higher education and consequently chose sculpture as my major for my undergraduate studies at the Tehran University of Fine Arts. I further strengthened my artistic vision on the philosophical and theoretical aspects of my field by entering Art Studies as my master's program. I have also worked as a cartoonist since 2006. I have participated and been awarded in numerous national and international festivals and competitions.
