Bita Vakili was born in Tehran, Iran in 1973. He earned a bachelor's degree in painting from the University of Art and Architecture in 1994 and a master's degree in the same field from Tehran University of Arts in 2000. This artist belongs to the Iranian Painters Association and the Institute for the Development of Visual Arts. Bita has had five solo exhibitions in Iran and London, as well as over 40 group exhibitions in Iran, Dubai, Canada, Armenia, and China. Bita Vakili's works have also been exhibited at the Tehran auction for 2014 consecutive years, and it has been sold more than five times at Christie's international auction, setting a significant record. Bita found that portraying natural happenings was no longer adequate, and she began to explore the multiple meanings of the spaces in her paintings. Over the course of several years, the motifs and forms in his paintings became increasingly abstract, to the point that this current Iranian painter, after his early experiences, is now one of Iran's most prominent abstract artists. He has been making similar works since the late 90s, in which the gradual shapes, and occasionally transcendental figures, emerge from the backdrop via the use of varied and flowing colors in the background and exploding, voluminous themes on the body. His paintings use abstract shapes. Bita Vakili's work is often more impressive when she uses huge canvases and relies on her skills to control the composition. The equilibrium achieved by the colored membrane and the huge size of the piece appears to give the spectator a cosmic or ethereal feeling. Material, color, and background are vital in Bita Vakili's paintings. In his recent collections, he uses collages of metals such as screws, beads, staples, sequins, and wreaths and adds color to them to show a clear difference from his previous works. The meaningful colors and cities with tall towers that symbolize development and contemporary life show the artist's concerns about global warming and environmental hazards caused by these developments. She pursues a form of purity and reaches a meaning that is only achievable with refined visual representation by eliminating the story, the ordinary natural aspects, and any literary or philosophical statement from her paintings.
