Statement
A self-taught artist, I embrace a passionate, intuitive approach to painting. Rather than subscribing to rigid techniques, I let the combination of colours and water guide my creative process.
I am still very proud of my Iranian heritage and its ancient history. Sometimes, introduce some of my culture into my artworks to draw attention to Iranian heritage.
