I started to play the piano at Tehran Conservatory of Music at age 8, which I continued for 11 years during the war between Iran & Iraq.

When I was 18 years old, the melodies transformed into colours and turned all greys into bright and a road to freedom and light.

At 19 years old (1989), I began my artistic career with Aidin Aghdashloo and Iradj Shafei, who opened my eyes to the world of realism. Passing through the artistic experience of realism, I expanded my creative vision inspired by one of the greatest Master of art, Ahmad Vakili, who directed my attention to human figures and expressionism. Vakili taught me how to be a natural artist. His academic drawing courses were as creditable as the art universities. To develop my art education, intuition, and experience, I completed all the lessons with Professor Ahmad Amin Nazar (drawing), and professor Nosratollah Moslemian (acrylic and abstract) and art historian Ruyin Pakbaz (history of art).

The outcome of these years of diverse experiments presented in a variety of exhibitions including realism (pastel, 1995), drawings (1997), and Persepolis Seyhoun Art Gallery (1999).

Starting in 2003, I adopted mix-media (Transition) as my art style to express my philosophy of life. From 2005 and 2007, my solo exhibition in the Etemad Gallery (Sprit of Nature) embrace the abstract form. During this period, I travelled around Iran and was fascinated by the movement, shapes, colours, and contrasts of nature. The years 2007-2009 White Prayers (last period of my art works in Iran) when rhythms, contrasts, forms, and colours and experience of all previous years of my art works meld and merge in the abstract of Persian calligraphy, and poetry.

Balance of the contrast is the central theme of my paintings, photography, short films and artworks, as it is within the contrasts that we reach the balance in art as so in life.  

I have been part of major exhibitions that presented current Iranian paintings, including “Still life, Contemporary Iranian painting, Tehran, 2007, and the Third International Biennial of Contemporary Painting of the Islamic World, 2005. Besides, I hold several solo exhibitions, including Inner Paradox 2001, Spirit of Nature-Etemad Gallery 2005, and Prayers 2009, in Tehran, Iran.

In October 2010, I immigrated to Canada when distinct shifts appeared in some aspects of my professional career. At this time, I focused more on tutoring, creating the workshops and art lessons, photography, art performance, and short film realization as my new canvas. 

My works have been presented in Montreal at significant events at the Palais des Congress, the Hôtel de Ville, the Montreal North Art Symposium. I also have two artistic implications for the United Nations High Commission and as part of the UNESCO’s International Diversity Day at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. I also received a grant from MAI Short-Term Support Program.

Meanwhile, I am tutoring drawing and painting and performing a series of therapeutic art for various groups, including children, adults, elderlies, people with mental health issues or psychosocial disorders, and people with functional limitations.
