For over three decades, my life has been an
odyssey of artistic exploration, culminating in
a profound mastery of hyper-realism with a
distinct focus on portraiture. My work
transcends mere representation, delving into
the depths of my personal narrative to
portray the trials and triumphs that have
shaped my existence. Each brushstroke is not
just a stroke of paint but a visceral
expression of my inner journey, a testament
to my resilience, and a relentless pursuit of
illumination amid life
’
s adversities.
My artistic journey commenced at the tender
age of seven, an age at which I first wielded
a paintbrush to assist my sister with her art
project. This serendipitous act unveiled a
latent talent, prompting my parents to
cultivate my burgeoning passion. They
introduced me to the illustrious works of
Iranian masters, among whom Abbas
Kertouzian stood paramount. By the age of
eight, I found myself under Kertouzian
’
s
tutelage, an apprenticeship that spanned
over six formative years in his atelier. This
experience indelibly shaped my technique
and imbued me with a deep reverence for
the artistic process.
Throughout my career, I have continually
pushed the boundaries of hyper-realism. My
evolving style has embraced minimalism
while enhancing intricate details, creating a
nuanced dialogue between the tangible and
the intangible. My oeuvre, rich in both
technical prowess and emotional depth, has
been showcased in numerous exhibitions,
including two distinguished sold-out solo
exhibitions in 2014 and 2019.
A particularly poignant milestone in my
career was the creation of a piece inspired
by my journey for a children
’
s cancer charity.
This work, now on permanent display,
epitomizes my belief in the transformative
power of art, its capacity to convey hope,
and its role in the healing process.

A significant chapter of my life has been my personal
battle with cancer, which I have triumphantly overcome for
over a decade now. This journey of healing and connection
with art has profoundly deepened my understanding of my
craft. It has fueled my desire to inspire others, showing that
through art, one can find resilience and strength in the face
of life
’
s greatest challenges.
My academic pursuits in art and design, culminating in
both a degree and a master
’
s from the University of
Salford in Manchester, United Kingdom, have provided a
robust foundation for my practice. This formal education,
coupled with my early mentorship under Kertouzian, has
endowed me with a versatile skill set and a profound
understanding of artistic principles.
Having attained significant success within the Iranian art
market, particularly through my collaboration with the
esteemed Art Center Gallery, I am now poised to extend
my reach. My vision is to introduce my art to a global
audience, engaging with connoisseurs and galleries across
Europe, America, and beyond. I am dedicated to fostering
mutual growth, enriching the cultural tapestry of the art
world, and sharing my unique perspective on the human
experience.
