Leaving his homeland in 1983, Kouros studied medicine in the land of Magyars, but came in the 1990s to specialise in Finland, where there was a shortage of doctors.
Kouros studied film-making whilst still in Iran, and was forced to exercise his skills filming war in his homeland in the conflict with Iraq.
Kouros' diversity is also indicated by two published books for children, the first of which, Gondwana's children, won the Finlandia Junior Award in 1997.
Kouros (youth) sculptures were abundantly produced during the Archaic era (700-480 BCE), continuing a long line of small votive statues made of bronze.
Kouros, as was the case with the Kore statues, were almost always approximately life-size (some much larger), and with few exceptions were made of marble.
The Kouros “smile” developed into a sign of progress as it slowly turned into the more austere expression of the mature statues of the late Archaic and early classical period, which relied on accuracy of form and movement to emanate their vivacity.
A kouros is a statue of a standing nude youth that did not represent any one individual youth but the idea of youth.
The kouros embodies many of the ideals of the aristocratic culture of Archaic Greece.
Certain elements of the statue have led to this questioning, especially a mixture of earlier and later stylistic traits and the use of marble from the island of Thasos at a date when its use is unexpected.

One of the most embarrassing legacies of the Getty’s freewheeling past is the statue of a kouros, a naked youth, supposedly from the sixth century BC.
In 1990, an art historian compared the Getty’s kouros to a torso allegedly made in Rome in 1985 by an Italian forger.
With these thorns in its side, the Getty announced in 1995 that it was turning a new leaf, “with an interest in channeling our resources in new directions,” wrote True in a press release.
