artist statement
| As an contemporary artist and sculptor, my art work originates from ancient patterns and textures of the environment which I was born into, the Iranian Plateau. Throughout my life, I have used art and creativity as a vehicle for meditation and self connection. I enjoy expressing and transforming ideas using different mediums. |
