About Kuros

Kuros Zahedi is originally from Iran and has lived and traveled extensively in Europe. His chief inspirations are the natural world, his spirituality and a vision of hope for civilization on earth.   His work explores consciousness, the human being and its ultimate inseparability with nature.

In addition to his studio work, Kuros works with organizations to successfully complete community based art projects which tap into people's souls in order to stir significant questions about the future of humanity.  He believes that art can play a powerful role in the renewal of human civilization.  His recent collaboration, Finding Away, transformed one year's worth of one man's trash into a single work of art.
