Mahmoud Saleh Mohammadi (Tehran, 21st of March 1979) is an Iranian artist. His artistic practice consists of performance, installation, painting, social and participative art.

Mahmoud Saleh Mohammadi is an Iranian artist born in Tehran in 1979. From an early age he devoted himself to the figurative arts, drawing inspiration in particular from the style of Amedeo Modigliani and Constantin Brancusi. He created many murals in different places in the city of Tehran.

He began his academic career at the Elmikarbordi University of Art in Karaj in 2007, and continued his studies at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, where he graduated in visual arts specialised in painting in 2014.

He lives and works between Milan and Antwerp. His research is based on cultural integration, participatory, socio-artistic and relational art using the language of Contemporary Art, painting, installations and Performance Art with humankind and empathy as tools and central concepts.

He chose Milan as the location of his artistic research. In 2014 he founded the exhibition space/cultural association Spazio Nour there, a creative laboratory that promotes dialogue between the different visual, performing and relational arts, as well as between the numerous ethnic groups and cultures that live together in the same building; the (in)famous palace of "Bligny 42". The association has a very experimental nature, in which his activities merge with those of many other passing artists.

The creation of the Spazio Nour, like an artistic work, has laid the foundations for a dialogue through exhibitions, events, workshops… in the context of social, relational and intercultural art, with the final aim of breaking down the social discomfort (drugs, violence, prostitution) of the building, using an artistic and empathic language, defined by the artist himself as “Artempatia”.
