About Us

A Global Stage for Rare Iranian Art

At AJ Art Gallery, we are more than a gallery — we are a bridge between tradition and the contemporary, East and West, heritage and innovation. Our mission is to gather, celebrate, and elevate rare works of art by Iranian artists from all corners of the world, offering them the global recognition they so richly deserve.

With prestigious locations in Dubai, Sydney, and Tehran, AJ Art Gallery is uniquely positioned at the heart of the international art scene. Each of our spaces is designed to immerse visitors in a world of elegance, meaning, and visual poetry.

Our Philosophy

We seek out artworks that are not only visually captivating but also tell stories — stories of cultural identity, resilience, and artistic mastery. Whether it’s the delicate brushstroke of a modern expressionist or the bold form of a contemporary sculptor, each piece is hand-selected for its rarity, authenticity, and emotional depth.

Curated with Purpose

History

An Immersive World of Iranian Mastery

Our Art Gallery

AJ Art Gallery is a refined space where rare Iranian artistry is brought into the spotlight. Every gallery location — in Dubai, Sydney, and Tehran — is carefully curated to be more than a venue. It is a sanctuary for artistic expression, designed to elevate every piece and honor the artists behind them.

Our collection spans painting, sculpture, mixed media, and contemporary installations, sourced exclusively from Iranian artists living across the world. We are dedicated to showcasing works that embody depth, complexity, and cultural richness — connecting the past to the present, and tradition to innovation.

Each work on display has been hand-selected for its rarity, craftsmanship, and resonance. We collaborate with both renowned masters and emerging talents, building a collection that reflects the diverse voices of Iran’s evolving artistic identity.

Creative Team

Shirin Kazemnia

Ansou art gallery Owner and Curator

Shirin Kazemnia

In 1995, she graduated from Al-Zahra University in the field of art and then studied painting and art history for 9 years at Nami Petgar’s studio. In 2010, she founded her own painting art school called ‘Maktab’, and at the same time, she held a painting and photography exhibition in the space of her art school.
Until she founded Ansou Art Gallery in 2018.
After the closing of the galleries in Iran and the Corona era, she decided to expand her activity outside the borders of Iran.
Therefore, with the help of Anahita Javadi, who is an entrepreneur living in Australia, and the online gallery Aj, which they created together, they started their activity outside of Iran.
They hope that with the help of other team members and accompanying artists, they can introduce a part of Iran’s contemporary art to the world and create more communication between art audiences and artists
