About

I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Tehran. My practice is a way of making sense of the world, an attempt to find harmony and feeling within the chaos.

Born in Lorestan and raised in Khuzestan, I moved to Tehran to pursue art, and my work is a map of this transit. I carry the stone and ancient relics of my birthplace and the landscape of the south west with me into the capital. Throughout a path that has taken me through fine art, theater, and cinema, I have realized that our journey is rarely a straight line forward. The more I grow, the more I find myself moving inward, peeling back layers until I am back at the basics. Studying our ancestors, I see that we aren't so different. We are merely repeating the same cycle of surviving, falling, and rebirthing in a different set of clothes.

This realization drives my practice. I am an outsider, both to the roots I left and the modern world I inhabit, and I use my work to bridge that distance. Whether I am editing a documentary, sitting with a portrait, or imagining a scenery, I am looking for that same ancient, persistent beauty that refuses to be erased.

Currently, I use colored pencil for my paintings, a medium that demands time and patience, mirroring the slow, deliberate work of untangling one's own history. My work explores this intersection of memory and survival through two series: "As Above, So Below," where I journal contemporary history through the lens of ancient Persian craft, and "The Flowers of Exile," an invitation to bare, honest eye contact with those who share our fragile, uncertain, paradoxical, chaotic, and fragmented present.

My work has been featured at institutions including Parallel Circuit, Dastan Basement, Paadmaan Contemporary, and Nian Gallery. In 2025, I participated in the MENA Art Fair in Paris with Badguir Gallery, which currently represents my work in Europe. As a film editor, my professional practice includes contributions to the backstage documentary for Sam Kalantari’s Facing the Rook and Melika Shafahi’s Swimming Against the Current.
