About me

I am an Iranian artist with more than 30 years of experience in watercolor painting and expressive calligraphy. My artistic journey has evolved from traditional watercolor techniques to mixed media, where I combine watercolor, ink, calligraphy, and symbolic forms to create deeply personal and emotional works.

Nature, poetry, and human emotions are the main sources of inspiration in my art. Birds, trees, and flowing lines frequently appear in my paintings as symbols of freedom, resilience, and the spiritual connection between humanity and nature. Through layers of color and intuitive gestures, I seek to transform feelings and memories into visual poetry.

I have participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Iran and internationally, including exhibitions in Italy, London, Istanbul, Dubai, and the United States. My work is an invitation to pause, reflect, and discover the hidden stories and emotions that connect us to the world around us.

My work is rooted in a deep connection with nature and the belief that love exists in every corner of the world if we take the time to truly see it. Nature serves as both my inspiration and my refuge, guiding me toward a deeper understanding of myself and my emotions.

Through fluid colors and layered mixed-media techniques, I explore themes of peace, freedom, and human connection. Trees appear in my work as symbols of resilience, endurance, and growth, while birds represent liberation and the desire to transcend limitations.

In recent years, I have incorporated poetic texts into my compositions, creating a conversation between visual imagery and language. For me, poetry gives voice to what cannot always be expressed through images alone, completing the flight of birds and deepening the strength of trees.
