Tehran - Silk Road, a collection of paintings by Master Siyavash Hossein Kasraei, has been put on display in Vienna, Austria. According to reports, in his 30 water color paintings, Kasraei has tried to portray all the ups and downs of life on the Silk Road such as agony, poverty, and the deprivation of nomads, and its dry and spiritless land.

Siyavash Kasraei was born in 1939 in Tehran and grew up in Khorasan. He considers all his paintings to be in the tradition of Iranian art. In his 42-year career, Siyavash Kasraei has created more than one thousand paintings and seven solo exhibitions and dozens of group exhibitions have displayed his works. The Iran-Austria Friendship Association has displayed Kasraei's paintings in Vienna twice in the past 35 years.
