I’m Saman, a multimedia artist and creator based in Vienna, Austria. I hold a Master’s degree in Digital Design from St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences, with a focus on Experimental Media. My work moves across experimental media, video art, photography, and generative AI, exploring the intersections of identity, memory, and technology.
From an early age, I have been drawn to the power of visual storytelling. Photography was one of my first creative passions, and it remains a central part of my practice today. My work often merges the real with the surreal, shaped by a melancholic aesthetic that challenges conventional narratives. I am deeply interested in the tension between beauty and imperfection, and in the idea that even what is often considered unsettling, ugly, or broken can hold a profound and singular beauty. In the interplay of light and shadow, beauty and grotesque, I find an emotional depth that continues to inspire my work.
Music is another important source of inspiration, not only as an art form in itself, but also as a way of sensing and interpreting the world. The sound of a car horn, footsteps in the street, the hum of the city, or fragments of overheard conversations can all become starting points for new ideas. Although I am not a professional musician, sound and rhythm play an essential role in my creative process, shaping the way I build atmosphere, structure, and narrative.
Through projects ranging from multimedia works and audiovisual pieces to live performances with orchestras, I have developed a strong interest in innovation, experimentation, and collaboration. I am passionate about pushing the boundaries between art and technology, discovering beauty in the unconventional, and creating work that invites viewers to see the world through a different lens.
For me, art is not only a form of expression, but also a form of connection. It is a way of navigating the space between humanity and technology, between the tangible and the imagined, and of discovering new ways to tell stories that resonate across cultures and experiences.
