I don't consider myself an "artist", an "interior designer/decorator" or a "photographer". I don't have an obsession about techniques, traditions and regulations. My creation is my language. When I paint or capture a moment, it's my goal to express something. I never copy myself or another artist, but I get inspired by life around me.  I am moved by humanity, freedom, honor, courage, integrity, individuality and truth. My belief is that when you connect with an artwork, you are connected to that thought and to that artist. Born: August 1968 Education: 1993 BFA Al Zara University of Art, Tehran, Iran 2008 C.I.D.
