Madjid, born in 1943 in Teheran, comes from a well known Persian family of artists. 25 Years ago he came to Germany. He lives partly in Hamm (Germany), partly on Mallorca. His works are represented in important art collections in Europe, USA and Asia. The artist signs off with three different names, Pan, Madjid, Rhanavardkar. Rhanavardkar Madjid paints like he lives. With energy, with power, yet with the tenderness of the strong. What moves us in Madjid is the sound of his unconsciously-impressionistic character. To all things he shapes, he attributes his powerful vitality. His subjects - people, flowers, landscapes - have their own expressive existence. The visible is dynamically defined and projected from the unsecurity of light and movement by expressive brushstrokes.

Born in Teheran in 1943, into the renowned Rhanavardkar family of Persian artists. He began to paint at the age of 16 under the tutelage of his prominent grandfather and talented brother, Anousch. Immediately people were captivated by his effervescent painting style, because Madjid paints like he lives, with energy and power, yet with the tenderness of the confident. In 1959, Madjid was awarded the Iran-French RASI prize for painting. A year later, he won that competition’s first prize for sculpture. Madjid furthered his talent under the tutelage of Messrs. Zöllner and Huber in Munich. Madjid’s unique style combines the techniques of impressionism with the vibrancy and intensity of expressionism, a style that he continues to follow today.

In 1966, the artist was featured at Teheran’s ARSEN gallery in a series of successful one-man and group exhibitions. Over the years, Madjid has maintained a solid reputation and following. He has lived in Munich for over three decades and is one of the city’s most respected artists on the contemporary scene. Today, Madjid’s work can be found in prestigious collections throughout Europe, Asia, and the USA. Madjid paints with a rich vitality that touches the viewer on a subconscious level.
