I was born in an Iranian artist family in 1950 and have been involved in visual arts, music and literature since adolescence. My works has been selected, exhibited, sold and added in private and public collections at Italy, Belgium, France, Japan, South Korea, Turkey, Iran, United States and Canada.

I use abstract expressionism in most of my artworks as my favorite style. "Earth" and "Earth and Water" form the core of my works that is collectively called "Grounding". In some of my works I have merged the style of abstract expressionism with surrealism and I have called it “abstract expressurrealism”.

Contemporary man starts excluding from the earth as the mother and cradle of mankind and alienating from the nature, as well. And this brings him chronic tension and anxiety. Creating the sense of "grounding" I feel in myself, I try to connect the viewer to the cradle and the origin. From this point of view, my artworks somehow fall into the category of "art therapy". In some of my artworks, I am unconsciously immersed in creativity and set my own spontaneous, creative inner free to shape my artworks. I use a certain color structure and composition in my works. I scarcely use paintbrush, and my main tools are fabric, paper, and sometimes rollers.

Bygone masters have inspired me to create inner unity and harmony in color. I follow modernism, not postmodernism. So, arousing artistic sense and creation based on personal creativity are the foundation and principles of my work.
