My artistic journey entered a new phase when I moved to Germany in 2009 and delved deeper into exploring cultural overlaps and differences. At that time, I began weaving ancient Persian forms and traditions with elements reflecting the complexities of life in Berlin, creating a connection between past and present.

​

The disconcerting chaos of iconic Persian patterns repeatedly returns in one way or another. Sometimes it dominates a piece, while at other times it is a subtle note in the background, gently altering the atmosphere. I enjoy playing with elements of paradox, seemingly symmetrical and harmonious, yet ultimately human in essence. I have chosen to express myself in both form and color, while interacting with history and narrative. I use these components to extend my culturally open approach to the viewer, primarily confronting them with queer and non-heteronormative masculine identities. In recent years, I have increasingly turned to political, social, and societal issues—partly triggered by the predominantly female-led protests in my home country of Iran: inequality, oppression, injustice.

​

Essentially, my art serves as a bridge connecting the ancient with the contemporary, the past with the present, and the East with the West. It is a visual narrative that transcends boundaries and invites introspection. Through my work, I hope to spark conversations and encourage viewers to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery and acceptance in an ever-changing world.
