About Me:

Heibat Ahmadi was born in 1990 .
His interest in drawing led him to enter the field of visual arts. The non-free, politically black environment of his life led him to cartoons. Due to the cold atmosphere prevailing in politics and government management, caused him to distance himself from the press and he entered international and global festivals more often. The majority of the themes of his cartoons are social, political and environmental criticism.
His interest in illustration and collaboration with children’s publications in the field of children’s illustration led to the illustration of more than 25 children’s books. He is a member of the Illustrators Association and has also taught illustration courses at universities in Tehran in recent years.
He has also collaborated with non-governmental organizations, theater groups and the Urban Beautification Organization in the field of visual arts.
He is currently engaged in cartooning, illustration, painting and ceramic art in his personal studio, in addition to his other artistic activities.
