Between classical and pop art
For the time being, Manzur Kargar deals with classical art, inspired by Greek Hellenism of antiquity. However, since the early 2000s he has increasingly turned to pop culture, which has influenced him since his youth in Berlin. He consistently uses the traditional technique of oil painting. He has also been involved in music projects since the age of sixteen and works as a musician and composer.

Human figure
Manzur Kargar reproduces in his paintings images of the mass media and the contemporary advertising. He draws inspiration from social magazines, television or the Internet. The artist is thus interested in contemporary culture and civilization. For this reason, he puts the human figure at the center of his painterly contemplation. In his hyperrealistic depictions, Kargar uses scenes and objects that he deprives of the familiar surroundings in order to place them in foreign contexts.
