درباره / About

Danial Keshani. Born in 1983 in Tehran. In the midst of the Iran-Iraq war and the years of political repression and the establishment of the Islamic Republic government in the 1980s.

I was twelve years old when I first read the Bhagavad Gita in the library of Allameh Helli School in Tehran, and the library, the world of books, and the few teachers who had time for students left a lasting impact on my mind.

Entering in 2001 at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Tehran:
In the university buildings, I was reminiscing about old memories and thinking about all the people who had walked in those buildings before me: it was as if their souls were still flowing through those buildings.
The bachelor’s degree was not completed. It led to migration to the Netherlands and starting work at Radio Zamaneh in Amsterdam as a web designer, then website manager, and then starting to study in the field of fine arts in Amsterdam. At the Rietveld Academy, one of the most progressive and open Dutch schools in Europe, and later, a master’s degree in Artistic Research at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague.
