Kambiz Sabri was born in 1967 in Kashan and was raised in Shahroud. His early exposure to art began at the Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults, where he learned painting. However, his youth coincided with a challenging period for the arts in his country.
Despite this, the rich and diverse landscapes of Shahroud deeply inspired him, and his sports instructor, Mr. Hossein Karimi, played a significant role in shaping his artistic sensibilities.
He has a BA in sculpture, industrial Design and an MA in graphic design. He also has worked in Architecture media for several years. He is teaching at a number of art faculties in Tehran, namely in the faculty of fine arts, Tehran University. Kambiz has held various solo exhibitions and participated in more than 150 group exhibitions in contemporary art museums and galleries around the world.
He has won prizes from the 3rd Sculpture Biennial and the 2nd Sculpture Symposium of Iran. He is also a winner of the Emirates Airlines Skywards Future Artists competition 2011. His international activities include being the coordinator for the Iran pavilion in the 51st Venice Biennial and participation in Toyomora Sculpture biennial 2007 in Japan, Art Dubai 2011 – 2018, Art Paris 2011 and 2012, Bangladesh biennial 2012, Art 13 London, Florence biennial 2013, Venice Architecture Biennial 2016 and Sharjeh Art Festival 2018.
He has also been a judge and member of committees of several Biennials and art competitions among Tehran’s sculpture symposium 2016 and the 7th Tehran Sculpture Biennial. In December 2015, one of his sculptures was selected and installed in the garden of “Asian art and culture museum” Chiayi – Taiwan alongside Yayoi Kusuama and Hiroshi Senju’s artworks.
