Original Paintings in Ibiza

The work

Original paintings from the San Juan studio

Every painting here is an original by Behzad Behpour, made in his studio and gallery in San Juan, Ibiza. Most are large canvases — several run two by three metres — worked in the expressive, heavily built-up colour he is known for, and many began as live paintings made in front of an audience at an event on the island.

Originals are sold directly from the studio, price on request, and prints can be produced from most works. Each catalogued painting has a page of its own with its medium, dimensions and availability — or write to Behzad about a commission for a particular wall.
