For me, the act of creating art is a form of social justice. I believe in using my work to raise awareness and spark conversations about unity and inclusion. My art invites viewers to confront societal divisions and shift their perspectives.
I hope to inspire dialogue about identity, encouraging people to not only celebrate our differences, but also recognize our shared essence. My journey as an immigrant has reinforced my belief that unity doesn’t require uniformity. True unity is found in the acceptance and celebration of our unique paths and our collective humanity.

My work is a mixture of so many styles and techniques but I’m very multifaceted so to me it makes sense, it feels like a language to me I can’t really explain it, and it gives me more options for collections, I like variety, I think a person can have many different aspects to them so I’m glad that this comes across. I think contemporary art has the responsibility to defy the ordinary in some way or another as its new and now and we’ll never get this time back, we get the opportunity for a reason and like fashion styles will always keep on changing depending on what’s going on around us.

Ultimately, I hope my work resonates with individuals on a personal level while contributing to the broader development of interdisciplinary art. My goal is to push the boundaries of what art can be and how it can be experienced, encouraging artists and audiences from diverse cultural backgrounds to engage with creativity in a more open and exploratory way.

I think that in human beings everything combines in a much less orderly way and as an artist I am passionate about these infinite possibilities of interaction. My basic elements are images, music and words. From time to time I can experiment with technologies that involve these elements but I always try to maintain a strong artisanal basis, a manual ability in doing things, a relationship with experiences that help me find a personal voice and reflect without taking preconceived positions.

As an artist, I feel a deep responsibility to preserve and reinterpret cultural elements in innovative ways. I believe that tradition and innovation can coexist harmoniously, and my work seeks to capture the cultural essence while presenting it in a new and contemporary way. I use modern techniques and innovative materials to give new life to traditional motifs, such as landscapes, flora and fauna, but always with an abstractionist and spiritual touch.

I use patterns to tell a story. Sometimes, the story doesn't materialize until a couple of days into the painting. Digging into the deeper side of the story is the hardest part for me. I'm affected by what's happening in the world, politically and concerning humanity. Sometimes, it's simple, but most of the time, I have to dig down and find the story. That recently happened with "Horizons", a new painting. It looks fairly cool and clean at the top but the drips and drags speak to the darker side of life.

My philosophy behind using a vibrant and luminous color palette stems from a deep conviction that colors have a tremendous impact on emotions and mood. I choose bright colors because they can trigger an immediate, energetic reaction. These colors represent joy, energy, and passion, which I want to convey through my work. By using intense tones, I aim to encourage viewers to perceive inner feelings and emotional experiences. I believe that each color has its own language, which can communicate directly with the subconscious

Throughout my personal and professional life, art has been an invaluable source of joy and empathy, helping me navigate the many challenges I’ve faced. Engaging in creative expression whether through sculpture or painting provides me with a unique outlet for my feelings and emotions. The beginning of the creative process is particularly exhilarating; it allows me to manifest ideas that only existed in my imagination into something tangible. This transformation fills me with a profound sense of joy and accomplishment.

The blend of Persian and Arab cultures from Iran to Dubai shaped my art with a unique fusion of patterns, colors, and themes, reflecting both tradition and modernity. Moving to the USA opened a new world of inspiration and allowed me to experiment boldly with mixed media, adding depth and texture to my work. Embracing textiles and various materials has made my art more tactile and immersive, each piece a testament to the freedom and creative evolution found along this journey.

My creative exploration began in earnest  through the full-time pursuit of a BFA during 1972-1976, fortuitously, an exciting and remarkable point in time. After graduating from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, I continued to create and show locally while working in related creative fields.
Always forward-looking, I typically test related forms of expression and mediums in the pursuit of inspiration. That being said, my current work reflects a journey marked by flowing lines and color relationships expressing observations made of the less tangible through acrylics on high quality papers.

I have always loved classical paintings and to bring them back to life with often the simplest of novelty tweaks. The challenge is appealing to the general public with such a niche subject, which may not appeal to everyone. I find graffiti is equally as fascinating and my interest began when visiting New York for the second time in 2014. Many of my own photographs taken from the streets have been the inspiration and backdrop to some of my early image creations.

I've noticed that no matter the city or the cultural backdrop, people respond to my work in similar ways. It’s a reminder that we all wrestle with the same fundamental issues—mental health, identity, connection, the struggle to make sense of our own minds in a world that doesn’t slow down. The themes I explore—vulnerability, resilience, the friction between humanity and technology—cut through cultural differences. They reach a part of us that’s universal.

My artistic development was formed under the influence of both, eastern and western European, cultures. The pulse of life of culturally diverse metropolitan cities like Moscow and Vienna allowed me to get close to world art master pieces and international famous artwork.
My love for impressionism was born visiting numerous museums of the Russian capital, while studying I was often in the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts attending regularly exhibitions. After moving to Vienna I was inspired later by Austrian artists as Gustav Klimt and focusing much in my own artwork on Austrian landscapes, churches and architecture.

My artistic journey is a reflection of my inner self, driven by a deep desire to create harmony and well-being. I believe that well-being is an integral part of a broader art of living, which is why my multi-sensory installations embody my vision for the future. These installations are designed to offer a holistic experience, inviting viewers to connect with both my art and the world around us. I truly believe that each of us has a mission in life, and mine is to inspire harmony and love through my creations.

In the late 1980s, while visiting the Frans Hals Museum in the Netherlands, I stumbled upon a small exhibition of Japanese watercolors near the exit. In that moment, I knew this was exactly what I wanted to learn.
After that, I studied an old Japanese technique called ‘Njimi’ with a Chinese teacher for five years. In the early 1990s, I received a bursary to go to Japan."
