About The Artist

Artist Statement

My artwork embodies narratives drawn from everyday life to philosophical enquiry, from nature to legends. Representing these multifaceted influences has led me to work in a range of genres, including figurative, landscapes, and seascapes.

My diverse work is inspired by Persian art and literature, interactions with people and cultures from East to West, and attentive observation.

For my paintings, my primary medium is oil as it allows my brush to flow, even change course, in rhythm with my thoughts. I utilize clay for sculpture as well as for pottery, which I augment with painting and calligraphy.
