Statement
My inspiration comes from my dreams and nightmares, my fears and doubts, my hopes and worries, myths, persian miniatures, nature, objects. After years of livinig in Italy certainly my art works are a combination of the Iranian and European culture. I create my paintings and illustrations in a variety of media, including watercolor and ink. I also create installations and books art by using different material.
