Artist Statement

My paintings explore the emotional layers of memory, identity, and resilience. I work in mixed media using a technique I’ve developed intuitively—combining oil and unconventional tools to build textured surfaces that mirror the complexity of human experience. The texture often resembles the woven richness of Iranian rugs—layered, intricate, and deeply rooted in heritage.
I don’t aim to control the work; instead, I let the materials guide me, allowing each piece to find its own voice. Each layer becomes a quiet dialogue, revealing the tension between vulnerability and strength. For me, painting is a form of meditation and repair—a way to process what cannot be said in words. I invite viewers to step closer, to find pieces of themselves in the silence, the cracks, and the colors. Even in fragility, there is beauty, and in stillness, connection.
