It is both the extraordinary diversity and mesmerizing detail that strike you when faced with Arash Groyen’s work. This is exemplified perhaps most beautifully in “Rostam Choosing His Horse”, a miniature painting that pays homage to “Shahnameh”, an epic poem – the world’s longest in fact – by the Persian poet “Ferdowsi” between 977 to 1010 CE. It comprises some 50,000 “distiches” or couplets.

Much of Arash’s work is scattered across the globe, acquired by number of important museums including those of his native Tehran and in private collections in the USA, UK, Iran, Denmark, Switzerland, Canada, Italy, France, Tunisia, Ireland, China, Singapore, Indonesia, Kuwait, Malaysia, UAE, Qatar and Thailand. Also one of his paintings sold at Carrousel du Louvre in 2018.

His talents not only focus on miniature painting but in other areas such as rug and carpet design, stage and set decoration. Arash has also acted in several films and television series in Iran.
