Mohammad Hossein Maher (born in Abadan, 1336) is a contemporary Iranian painter and sculptor who graduated from the Faculty of Decorative Arts in Tehran. He is one of the well-known figures and the owner of the today's Iranian painting style and has been teaching painting to students for years.
Maher's fame first arose from his reference to the south of Iran. Throughout the seventies and part of the eighties, he was known as the "painter of the South". His painting in those years was initially a kind of return to his hometown, but his figures gradually took on the color of myth in the seventies, and by moving away from the objective time and place, they became generalizable figures. From that time to today, the situation of man, time, and place in Maher's works has changed many times, but what remains is the generalization of figures.
In the last two decades, his gaze gradually turned inward and secluded, and instead of the climate and the land with its diversity and charm, he changed his direction to staring and penetrating the mental world and fantasy climates.
