My work is an exploration of memory, emotion, and the quiet moments that shape our lives. Through textured oil and mixed-media paintings, I seek to preserve experiences that are often overlooked; shared meals, afternoon tea, familiar objects, cultural traditions, and places that quietly become part of who we are.

Rather than painting subjects for their appearance alone, I am interested in the stories they carry. A cup of tea, a homemade dessert, the warmth of gathering around a table, or the comfort found in everyday rituals can hold memories that last far longer than the moments themselves. These ordinary experiences become the starting point for my work, inviting viewers to reconnect with feelings of nostalgia, belonging, and reflection.

Texture plays a central role in my practice. I use layered paint and mixed media to create surfaces that encourage a slower way of looking, allowing each piece to feel tactile and immersive. The physical qualities of the paintings become part of the storytelling, echoing the depth and permanence of memory itself.

As my practice continues to grow, I hope to explore a range of interconnected themes including culture, literature, faith, nature, and personal history, all united by a shared intention: to preserve meaningful moments through paint. Whether inspired by everyday rituals, sacred narratives, or places that leave a lasting impression, my work aims to celebrate the beauty found in the experiences that quietly shape our lives.

As a visual artist I am continually inspired by the infinite forms, colours, textures, rhythms and patterns found in nature. Every landscape, weathered object, play of light presents an opportunity to observe, interpret and transform the ordinary into something enduring. My artistic practice is rooted in oil painting where the richness of colour, expressive brushwork and tactile quality of the medium allow me to explore both the visible world and the emotions it evokes.
Working in an impressionistic yet representational style, I seek to balance realism with painterly expression. Rather than reproducing a scene exactly as it appears, I aim to capture its atmosphere and essence. Light, colour harmony and composition become the language through which I communicate a sense of place, memory and quiet contemplation. I enjoy simplifying forms while preserving the subtle details that give a subject its unique character, allowing viewers the freedom to complete the narrative through their own experiences.
Always believe that art should invite reflection rather than complexity for its own sake. To me, the true power of painting lies in its ability to renew the mind through honest artistic expression. Whether working from direct observation or personal experiences, my paintings celebrate the beauty of everyday moments and the timeless relationship between humanity and nature. My work hopes to evoke sense of stillness, wonder & emotional connection and rediscover the poetry hidden.

My practice explores cultural memory, identity and belonging through realism and visual storytelling. Working across painting and drawing, I use light, objects, figures and symbolic details to connect personal memory with shared human experience.

Throughout my artistic journey, I have always sought to create a meaningful connection between the valuable heritage of Iranian art and my personal vision. For me, painting is a language through which emotions, memories, and the beauty inspired by my culture, nature, and homeland can be expressed.

My artworks are inspired by Persian miniature painting, floral and bird motifs, and the delicate elements of traditional Iranian art. Through my practice, I aim to present these precious elements with a renewed feeling and a personal perspective. Colors, lines, and details come together like poetic words, creating an atmosphere filled with serenity, delicacy, and imagination.

In each artwork, a dialogue emerges between the authentic roots of Iranian art and contemporary emotions; a dialogue that reflects beauty, hope, and the deep connection between humanity and nature. Each painting is a gentle story of love for art and respect for cultural heritage, beginning from my homeland and creating a sincere connection with audiences around the world.

I am a London-based artist working across drawing, painting, printmaking, and digital fabrication at the intersection of art, ethnography, and sociology. My practice explores identity formation, domestic life, spatial politics, and the everyday acts through which identities are shaped, negotiated, and sometimes collide across private and public spaces. Drawing on my background in Fine Art at the University of Tehran, I use visual research, narrative, material experimentation, and spatial thinking to create works that move beyond representation and reflect on memory, gender, family, and human conditions.
As an artist, I am always looking for media that best suits my visual research and questions, encompassing traditional drawing and painting techniques as well as digital techniques such as photography and digital fabrication. My studies in Fine Art (University of Tehran) and Architecture (University of Westminster) have given me representational tools that go beyond mere representation; creating artworks that engages with its surrounding and reflects on human conditions, such as identity, gender and spatial politics.
In my works, I navigate my immediate surrounding, using visual ethnography to reflect on the self, memory and familial relations.

Artist Statement

Woodcarving is, for me, a continuation of a dialogue that has existed for centuries between the artist, wood, and the rich cultural heritage of Iran. My work is deeply rooted in the traditional art of Persian woodcarving, a practice

Carved stoneware pieces shaped by the funerary architecture of Makli. Pierced surfaces different and color and with stony texture, echoing weathered tombs and glazed tilework exploring the vase as threshold between solid form with lights and shadows.

What is familiar gradually slips away from its name. Everyday food objects leave behind their ordinary roles, becoming ambiguous, living forms that seem to take on a life of their own, inviting us to look again.

I am eager to move across artistic genres like abstract, macro or minimalism to documentary photography. Independently of the genre, one common feature of my photos is their simple, even minimalist composition, focusing on the essential.

My art is a dialogue between the visible and the felt. Through 3D textures, I let deep emotions flow freely onto the canvas. The works come alive, step into the space, and connect from soul to soul in a state of perception.

I view art as a safe haven to express our souls honestly. Evolving from foundational clay to shattered mirrors and threads, my practice captures human resilience, seeking absolute truth and a peaceful commentary on surrounding realities.

Creation unfolds through exploration, patience, and quiet discovery, where process and outcome become inseparable. Within this evolving journey, art emerges as a space of freedom, reflection, and authentic expression.

In this body of work, I explore place, memory, and identity. Through real and imagined landscapes, I create psychological landscapes that blur reality and memory, exploring belonging, absence, and connection to the surrounding world.

My practice explores memory, identity, and lived experience through textiles, drawing, and installation. Using repetitive processes and material storytelling, I investigate themes of care, resilience, and transformation, creating spaces for reflection on the relationships between body, place, and the narratives that shape our everyday lives.

I work with what hides behind the trace: a shadow of a story, a vanished touch, a memory that breathes despite absence. I gather what slips through time and reshape it, giving unfinished stories warmth and space to return.

I paint portraits, landscapes and architectural extravagances solely from memory, using walnut oil and archival oil paints on cotton and MDF. This is for peeps who want to enter my mind.
Every face is painted, feel free to find someone you once knew.

My work reimagines reality through blur, motion, and light. Drawing from personal perception and cultural narratives, I create dreamlike imagery that explores memory, emotion, and the beauty found beyond perfect clarity.

Working primarily with digital media and a conceptual visual language, I rely on careful composition, lighting, and form to convey these psychological and emotional narratives. Each piece invites the viewer to engage with both the heaviness of restriction and the quiet strength of persistence.
