Manouchehr Tavanfar was born in an art loving family in the artful and ancient city of ‎Isfahan in 1941.‎
From his childhood he found a great passion to the painting so that passing a short time to ‎learn drawing was enough to continue painting with no more training and all were his ‎own effort and personal experience.‎
He graduated from Architecture in Beheshti University in Tehran. He worked on ‎Tuberculosis Cure Center Project as his thesis. ‎
Tavanfar’s first period of painting is realism; and the later works are surrealism with ‎religious tendency that inspired from Islamic architecture in some works.‎

He took part in many solo and group exhibitions. The first exhibition of Tavanfar was in his 13 in the high ‎school hall.‎
