About the Artist

Ali Esmaeillou is an Iranian visual artist, born in 1982 in Tehran and currently living in Dubai, UAE. Since 2003, he has developed a multidisciplinary practice that spans painting, sculpture, and ceramics, exploring the emotional depth of form and material. His work is deeply connected to the essence of human presence — its fragility, transformation, and timeless desire for beauty.

Influenced by mythology, ancient symbols, and the textures of memory, Esmaeillou uses natural materials to express inner narratives. Whether through tactile clay surfaces or layered brushwork, he creates a sensory connection with the viewer — a silent dialogue shaped by intuition rather than instruction.

Over the years, his artistic journey has led him to exhibit in Iran’s most respected galleries and across Europe and the United States. The integration of pottery and hand-built ceramics has added a meditative, grounding dimension to his practice in recent years.
