Koorosh Nejad is a self-taught Canadian artist with Persian roots. Koorosh Nejad is known for his design and acrylic paintings depicting ancient cultures and ancient civilisations. He uses ancient signs, symbols, myths, philosophy, characters and shapes in his abstracts. His art has been presented in Saatchi gallery London and other private venues.

His work has been described as a passionate collection of paintings that explore culture, identity, history, and humanity's origins through their symbols. He describes his work as the "Art of Symbols".

The tightly woven elements are often merged with faces that imply the cubism style in painting. Most of his work are in black and white. Collage and the manipulation of pre-existing elements is a method of working that he finds compelling, satisfying and often surprising. The process of moving from found elements, through various permutations of trial and error and association and integration between the chosen elements, allows him freedom of play and discovery that he feels endless, despite its seeming inbuilt limitation.

Koorosh lives in London since 2017.
