Biography

Recently, Amir’s contemporary practice emphasizes high jewelry, blending unconventional materials and innovative techniques with fine gems and precious metals. Drawing inspiration from ancient artifacts and the methodology of renowned high jewelry virtuosos, his approach and
high-quality craftsmanship characterize his work. Amir creates
intricate, multidisciplinary works of art, resulting in both
experimental sculptural brooches and wearable high jewelry items. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, with some being commissions and others emerging from spontaneous inspiration. These creations are eagerly sought after
by his admirers, redefining the boundaries of modern jewelry design. His work is featured in private and museum collections and is represented by Charon Kransen Arts in New York, Gallery Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal, and Alternatives in Rome.

He is a member of Society of North American Goldsmiths, Metal Arts Guild of Canada and Ontario Crafts Council board of directors.
Sheikhvand received numerous awards for his practice in Contemporary Art Jewellery and his work
has been exhibited nationally and internationally in both juried and invitational exhibitions at museums
and galleries such as Design Exchange, Valery Art Gallery, McMaster Museum of Art, Tom Thomson
Art Gallery, Ontario Crafts Council gallery, Arta gallery, Tehran Contemporary Museum of Art, Raffaele Cominelli Foundation, Decorative Arts and Design | Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and
