Puyan A. Zadeh is a painter based in Vancouver, working from his studio at 1000 Parker Street, where his practice is closely connected to the local creative community. The studio serves as a place for painting, learning, and exchange, shaped by ongoing involvement in initiatives such as Van Sketch Club, Creative Mornings Vancouver, First Saturdays, and the Eastside Culture Crawl.

His work is grounded in traditional painting methods, with a focus on tonal structure, material behavior, and surface. Working primarily with oils and oil pastels, he builds paintings through layering, reworking, and direct engagement with the surface, allowing process, material, and gesture to remain visible in the final image.
