"As an Iranian artist, my artistic journey began in 1988, driven by a deep passion for painting, drawing, mixed media, murals, and sculpture. These mediums have become the vehicles through which I express my artistic vision. Throughout my career, I have not only dedicated myself to my own creative pursuits but also to imparting my knowledge and expertise as a teacher of the arts at various esteemed universities and colleges in Iran. It brings me immense joy to inspire and nurture aspiring artists, passing on the wisdom I have gained throughout my own artistic journey. My artwork is a harmonious blend of expressive abstraction and figurative representation. Through a language of colors, textures, and forms, I aim to convey emotions, ideas, and narratives. Each piece I create is a visual symphony that invites viewers to explore their own interpretations and connect with the essence of the artwork. The recognition and appreciation of my captivating artwork have led to its showcase in solo and group exhibitions across Europe and the Middle East. Audiences have been captivated by the unique expressions that emanate from my creations. I take great pride in leaving a lasting impact through my artistic contributions, forging connections between cultures, and inspiring others to embrace their own creative journeys. My artistic vision continues to evolve and expand as I explore new techniques, experiment with different materials, and delve deeper into the depths of self-expression. I strive to create not only visually stunning works but also to provoke thought, evoke emotions, and challenge perceptions. Through my art, I aim to transcend boundaries and foster a sense of unity and understanding. It is my sincere hope that my creative endeavors touch the hearts and minds of those who encounter them, igniting dialogue, and leaving an indelible mark on their artistic and personal journeys. I am immensely grateful for the opportunities that have shaped my artistic path and remain committed to pushing the boundaries of my own creativity. With each stroke, each sculpture, I aspire to create a legacy that resonates with the world, sparking inspiration and opening doors to new artistic possibilities."
