Ashkan Nejad Ebrahimi is an Iranian-born, Winnipeg-based multidisciplinary artist whose work encompasses drawing, sculpture, installation, and digital media. He completed his undergraduate studies in fine arts at the University of Tehran before relocating to Canada in 2021, where he earned his MFA from the University of Manitoba. His work has been presented in exhibitions across Iran and Canada.

At the core of Ashkan’s practice is an interest in drawing as a physical and psychological process. His work focuses on how gestures emerge through the body, translating thought, memory, and feeling into marks on paper. Working in abstraction, he explores ideas of imagination, memory, and repetition, often allowing the process to unfold without a fixed outcome. Influenced by surrealist and expressionist approaches, Ashkan primarily uses ink and paper, treating these materials as both a working surface and a bearer of cultural history. His drawings and installations emphasize time, movement, and presence,  inviting viewers to encounter the work through their own sensory and emotional associations.
