I started painting when I was 15, but I didn’t really dive into abstract art full time until I was 27, in 2017. I love working with abstract styles, using color and shapes to express emotions and moments of joy. Sometimes I don’t have a plan at all and just let the painting happen as I go, I find it exciting to see where it takes me. But whatever I create, I always want it to catch the viewer's eye and make them curious to look deeper, to find new details each time they see it. I never formally studied art at first, but I was always interested in what was going on in art schools. That’s what led me to OCAD University, where I’m now in my second year, still exploring and developing my art in new ways. I’ve had two solo exhibitions in Tehran (2019 and 2022), and I’ve shown my work in six group exhibitions in places like Tehran, Toronto, and Istanbul. Each experience has been a chance to share my vision and connect with people from different places.
