About the artist...

Within my work I invite the viewer to follow an unorthodox narrative, which is influenced by the old tradition of Persian story telling. The content is enriched by metaphors of philosophy, poetry, existential beliefs and personal perceptions. I see the earthly unpleasantness and present it in a setting akin to a beautiful Persian Miniature. Rather than political views, I aim to emphasize the lyrical.
