ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I am inspired by the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement of women in Iran. I have evolved my oil painting experience by using pallet knives and thick oil layers on canvases. I am recognized for my abstract landscape paintings, whereby a contrasting object to an abstract texture determines through an imagination. My painting is a journey into the unknown, full of challenges, surprises, and ultimate satisfaction. Besides painting within nature, often of times, my brain scans my surrounding natural environment and start painting in the studio; however, sometimes begin without a clear idea and more intentional brush strokes emerge along the way with pallet knife movements and textures.
