I was born in the vibrant heart of Tehran, and art has been my constant companion for as long as I can remember. It’s always been more than just colors and shapes, it’s a space where I explore, discover, and feel truly alive. Sometimes, I see objects not just for what they are, but for the untold stories they carry, whispering their existence in ways beyond words. When I was about five years old, my imagination took flight with a thought that changed everything: What if we, as humans, are living inside the belly of Mother Earth? That idea stirred something deep within me, a sense of wonder I couldn’t quite express in words. That’s when I turned to painting my silent language.
Persian miniature painting, with its intricate details and rich storytelling, became my inspiration. For centuries, it has been the visual voice of poetry, and I’ve found my own way of speaking through it. My faceless miniatures embody untold emotions silent witnesses to both suffering and joy, echoing stories that go beyond time.
Through my art, I seek to uncover hidden layers of existence, to explore what lies beneath the surface of our everyday lives. Each brushstroke is a journey into the unknown, a bridge between the seen and the unseen.
And so, I paint because sometimes, the things we cannot say are the ones that need to be seen the most!
