Mohsin Taasha was born in Kabul in 1991. When the Taliban came to power, his family migrated to Pakistan, where it stayed until 2004. When he came back, Ostad Raahi, one of his teachers, opened up new horizons for him. He took lessons with two master miniaturists, Khadem Ali and Sher Ali, and studied painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Kabul. A man of fiery temper ament, he quickly moved away from realism and the rules of the traditional miniature. In 2010 he won the Afghanistan Contemporary Prize and in 2012 he took part in dOCUMENTA 13 before going to study at Beaconhouse Univer sity in Lahore, Pakistan. He exhibited at the Beirut Contemporary Art Fair in 2013 and at the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015.
