I am an artist and architect originally from Iran, who has lived in Canada, Germany, and now resides in Florida. My passion lies in the creative process, whether it involves designing buildings, crafting spaces, sketching on trace paper, or painting on canvas. For me, painting serves as a bridge to the subconscious, allowing me to explore a broader perspective of reality through my inner vision. I begin with pencil drawings, gradually building up to create intricate compositions, and then transition to larger canvases. There, I work to balance shapes, tones, and colors, meticulously refining and integrating them into a cohesive theme. This process can span several months, evolving into its final form. My paintings are rich in detail and often convey messages from the inner world. I am eager to share and present my work to a wider audience and the world beyond.
