Born in 1960 in Tehran, Ramin Samandari emigrated from Iran to the United States in 1978 and makes his home in San Antonio, Texas. A versatile artist working with photographic and digital imaging processes, Samandari investigates the human form in relation to other forms, space, and the intangible forces of time, place and history. Samandari teaches photography at the Southwest School of Art and owns Magical Realism Studio, located in the Blue Star Art Complex in San Antonio, Texas.
Samandari’s work is in the permanent collections at the San Antonio Museum of Art and the University of Texas at San Antonio, along with numerous private collections.
