“All is Inside”: The Superb Surreal Portraits by Shahab Shahmohamadi

Shahab Shahmohamadi is an illustrator, digital painter and concept artist based in Tehran, Iran.

“I am an illustrator for life; I draw storyboards, motion graphic illustrations, game concepts, and book illustrations, too, but I think that art should have something to say. Those works that I just named aren’t “art” for me, they are just skills. I think art is more than just skill. Art is a philosophy of being; it’s the way you think, not just the ability to draw something pretty.”
