Designer and creator of works of art using natural shells in the form of mirror frames, photo frames, art paintings, interior decoration and abstract works.

Master Manouchehr Karimnia, over 35 years ago, laid the foundation for the art of shellwork (using natural shells) in the field of Iranian handicrafts with his creativity and innovation. This delicate and unparalleled art is essentially a fusion of shellwork with other arts such as wood carving, marquetry, inlay work, painting, and more, resulting in the creation of valuable works. Shellwork is a unique art form in the country and possibly the world, which, through Master Karimnia's various innovations, has been executed in several methods, including shell inlay, shell arrangement, shell marquetry, and more, in the form of numerous wooden works, ranging from small to large (photo frames, mirror frames, console mirrors, furniture, and interior decor). Over the years, Master Karimnia, in addition to creating and producing various works, has always been committed to education and entrepreneurship as a dedicated and independent artist. Accordingly, many art enthusiasts, art students, and others who had interest, passion, and talent were trained under his guidance. Now, after years of relentless effort, the master has entrusted all his art, love, and creativity to his son, Ashkan Karimnia, so that this artistic inscription may find new life and the modern art, while preserving its ancient authenticity, may breathe a fresh spirit into this style.
