My work explores the complexities of personal identity, often juxtaposing cultural patterns with the female form or figures with concealed faces. These richly layered portraits challenge viewers, provoking thoughts on freedom, identity, and gender.
My journey through life, from growing up in Iran, studying in Germany and working between various countries, has given me different perspectives and fuelled my creativity. Experiencing new cultures and societies has inspired me to investigate and reflect on my own identity.
The patterns I incorporate into my art are influenced by the cultural motifs of the countries I have lived in. My preferred medium is oil and acrylic on linen.
