Mahmoud Baghaeian




Mahmoud Baghaeian was born into an Iranian family of artists. He studied carpet and
tile design as well as painting and sculpture. In 1978, he moved to Canada. After studying
engineering, he discovered clay and enrolled in a ceramic program. With his first major
exhibition in 1990 he made a dramatic debut on the Montreal art scene. His work is
characterized by fluid, Persian-inspired designs and refined, classical forms: each piece is
a painting as much as a sculpture, an ancient relic as much as a contemporary art object.
Baghaeian is the recipient of numerous grants and awards. He has exhibited widely, and
his work is in public, private and corporate collections all over the world. In 1999, he was
elected to the International Academy of Ceramics.
