Arman Karimi is a dedicated artist, calligrapher, educator and producer whose journey spans more than three decades of creative practice. Born and raised in Afghanistan, Arman’s devotion to fine arts — particularly painting and calligraphy — has been a lifelong passion.

Arman holds a master’s degree in public relations and a Diploma in Fine Arts from Afghanistan Art Gallery. For many years, he taught painting and calligraphy at Kabul University, where he nurtured the next generation of Afghan artists.

When the political situation in Afghanistan changed and the Taliban came to power (a regime known for its opposition to many art forms), Arman was compelled to leave his homeland. Having recently resettled in the United States as a refugee, he has resumed his artistic journey with renewed purpose and energy.

Since arriving in America, Arman has participated in multiple festivals and programs. His works have been exhibited at venues such as Yakima Gallery, where three of his pieces sold, and currently at Onex Gallery in a month‑long exhibition.

Outside of the studio, Arman worked for many years in the U.S. as a senior producer at an American company — developing strong skills in project management, creative production and cross‑cultural communication. He also draws on his experience providing caregiving services to elderly and physically or mentally disabled individuals, finding in that vocation a meaningful extension of his humanistic values.
