I'm an artist...

I discovered my artistic identity in Isfahan, a city whose beauty has been nicknamed 'Half of the World.' Being exposed to the diverse shades of Iranian and Middle Eastern art, from exquisite miniature paintings to the intricate Khatamkari work that embellishes Iranian culture, it was inevitable that I would view the world through an artistic lens. Growing up, I often drew my teachers' faces on the blackboard; little did I know that some of those innocent drawings would sustain me during the most challenging times of the Iranian Revolution. Amidst the bombings and wars that tore our nation apart, my pencil provided a form of rebellion and voice. The duality of those years—destruction and beauty, tradition and modernity—became embedded in my mind, shaping the artist within me.

However, while studying computer engineering in college, I was always drawn to art. I have linked these two seemingly unrelated fields and curated twenty exhibitions across international markets. My journey has taken me from watercolors to symbolic paintings in oil and acrylic, inspired by Persian lettering and poetry. Each piece tells a story, capturing the voices and experiences of people and society that long to be heard and seen.
