Rodshir Dailë is an award winning contemporary visual artist and designer based in Paris, France. His practice recontextualizes surrealism, postmodernism, minimalism, architecture, fashion, and product design. 

Rodshir studied several areas of Fine Arts during his education, including photography, fashion, industrial/architectural design. His influences derive from surrealism, shape, free-form, and blue monochromatic color palettes.

In 2011, he founded Rodshir Dailë Studio®️ a multidisciplinary creative firm, where he would vanguard and asseverate the signature aesthetic “Monochromvision”. Applying this technique to the mediums of photography, cinematography, two-dimensional works, sculptures, and installation designs.

His 2022 photography exhibition "How To See An Image In Total Darkness", was published into a coffee table book. The retrospective monograph was reissued as a réedition in 2025, and was added to the permanent French Heritage archives at Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF).
