Ali Nedaei is an Iranian painter and draftsman, born in 1957 in Abadan. He began his professional artistic career in 1983, concurrently with his studies at the University of Art, where he later received his M.A. in Painting. Over more than two decades of teaching at Iranian universities, he has played a significant role in art education, particularly in drawing and painting. His works are characterized by a focus on mythology, animal figures such as horses and lions, and the use of dynamic, expressive lines—elements that shape his distinctive visual identity. Nedaei studied under prominent artists Mohammad Ebrahim Jafari and Mohammad Hossein Halimi and was also a member of the +30 Art Group. Throughout his career, he has held numerous solo exhibitions in Iran and internationally, including in Tehran, Istanbul, and London, and has participated in various group exhibitions and international art fairs, including in Paris and Dubai.
