Artist Statement
My art is a tribute to the rich history of Iranian Miniature Art and Architecture. Drawing inspiration from traditional motifs and patterns, I aim to merge the beauty of the past with the technology of the present. By deconstructing and reinterpreting these ancient forms, I strive to create a sense of revolution while honoring the authenticity and timelessness of Iranian culture.
Through my creations, I seek to convey meaning and symbolism from traditional motifs of the old Persian world. I draw inspiration from popular cultural works such as Shahnameh by Ferdowsi and Haft Peykar by Nezami, and my goal is to shed light on the beauty and significance of this Persian heritage.
