American Cyrus Afsary Indian Man Portrait Painting

American Cyrus Afsary Indian Man Portrait Painting
Very fine oil on canvas painting depicting portrait of Indian man by well listed American artist Cyrus Afsary ( b.1940 or 1941). Raised in the Middle East, Cyrus Afsary began his artistic studies at an early age. Enrolling in an art conservatory at fifteen, his first art education sprung from the strict realist training coming from Russia during that time. Many of Afsary's classes were very structured in their teachings and much of his time was spent drawing from life. It was also at this time that Afsary began to earn a living as an artist, selling commission portraits while in his teens. After leaving the conservatory, Afsary continued to paint and decided to pursue a career as an artist in his early thirties. Now known for his portraits he continues to explore other subject matter as well, ranging from landscapes to still lives. Although he works primarily in oils, he also likes to experiment with other mediums, such as pastels and watercolors. In the 1980's, Afsary's work began to attract the attention of Western art dealers and collectors. Today Afsary continues to work from his studio in Phoenix, Arizona. He has been the receipient of many art awards including the first Robert Lougheed Memorial at the 1988 National Academy of Western Art Exhibition, Best of Show at the C.M. Russell Museum Art Exhibition and the Exceptional Merit Award from the National Arts Club.
