My artworks are mostly inspired by ancient Persian poetry. They are very expressive and carry oriental art.

My original creations are mostly made of acrylic, oil and mixed media. Acrylic helps a lot with the texture I use. I mix it with oil sometimes for its brightness.

I am an artist and I consider myself a storyteller too. I am the link to Persian tradition in a completely contemporary way. I want to preserve its lyrical depth and introspective ability.

I consider the artistic research an introspective analysis. When I paint figures come to the surface as from a mystic vision.
Beauty reveals itself in symbolic shapes. They find a place on the canvas and remind the viewer about the importance of feelings.

The painting exudes sensuality, mystery, and tension. It feels at once intimate and surreal, inviting viewers into a private, dreamlike realm. The interplay of bold colors, textures, and symbolic elements creates a sense of emotional complexity, where desire and introspection coexist. leans toward modern expressionism, with strong emotional undertones. The reclining pose evokes classical depictions of Venus or odalisques but rendered here in a raw, almost primal way. The red dots symbolise passion, vitality, or vulnerability, while the green, amorphous shape above her head may suggest inner thoughts or a metaphysical presence. The use of contrasting color zones (blue and cream) hints at dualities: night/day, body/spirit, or conscious/unconscious. The thick brushwork and bold outlines emphasize the body’s physicality, while the dreamlike elements imbue it with a psychological depth.
