Changiz Jalayer was born in 1975 in Tehran-Iran. He graduated from Venice Art
Academy-Italy in Conceptual Art and completed his master of Photography in The High
Institute of Industrial Art(ISIA).
Changiz expresses his attitude in many different media but particularly in
Photography influenced by studying in Italy, university professors, and European
cultural movements, with the main concept of Intercultural communication and
common social themes in order to share his personal experiences and concerns as an
artist with others.
These challenges led him to start his research as an ongoing project of personal and
social identity which people would explore among his artworks, within meticulous
attention to details that significantly shows his interest to seek true self and his roots
while discovering traditional cultures and beliefs, real image and cognition that has been
affected by time and place. The work of art not only allows the artist to identify himself
with his work, but in so far as art is born out of and in everyday experience, the work of
art also reflects the community to which the artist belongs.
Changiz Jalayer’s visual language displayed a cultural perceptions of femininity in a most
private form, that turn insistently around the exploration of the women’s world and the
challenges of their identities specifically in integralist societies but with a simple and
innocent way.
