About me

As an Iranian-American woman artist, my work is a fusion of my cultural heritage and my experiences living in California. The intricate patterns and symbolism of Persian rugs, have been a constant source of inspiration for me. I strive to capture the essence of these patterns in my abstract contemporary oil paintings. My art explores the theme of chaos and order, and through the use of vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes, I aim to create compositions that evoke a sense of harmony and balance. My work is also inspired by the poetry of Rumi and Hafez, which speaks to the beauty and mystery of existence. My intent is to offer the viewer a moment of peace and order, a respite from the chaos of everyday life. Each painting is a personal journey from the unknown to the known, from California to my homeland; and each verse or word, handwritten by me, is a glimpse at my inner world. I paint to experience joy or disappointment, to feel powerful, to believe in magic, to play, and to feel alive. My intent is to offer the viewer a moment of peace and order, a respite from the chaos of everyday life without making them think too hard.
