ARTIST’S STATEMENT
As an artist, my practice is a continuous exploration of the critical intersections between human experience and environmental urgency. Drawing from the bold vibrancy of Fauvism, the emotional intensity of Expressionism, and the boundless possibilities of Abstract art, my works seek to invoke a dialogue on global issues such as climate change and human matters.
My journey is influenced by the dynamic interactions between art and society, where my work strives to reflect a story or provoke a question, engaging audiences in a conversation that extends beyond the visual experience. My teaching role enriches this perspective, as working with young children keeps my approach fresh and filled with wonder; their uninhibited expression and innovative viewpoints on color and composition continually inspire my artistic methods.
Currently, I am focusing on developing two distinct sculpture collections: "Shattered Harmony" and "Parts Of Me", alongside two painting-sculpture hybrids, "Harmony" and "Epic Of Khorramshahr". These projects are united by their thematic engagement with resilience and transformation—echoing the regenerative processes of nature and the human spirit. "Shattered Harmony" delves into the discordant relationship between humanity and nature, while "Parts Of Me" reflects personal narratives of identity and change. "Harmony" and "Epic Of Khorramshahr" both utilize mixed media to depict stories of conflict and survival, drawing parallels between historical events and contemporary struggles.
Through art, I aim to not only challenge viewers but also to empower them, fostering a sense of responsibility and hope. The intention is to create art that does more than occupy space; it serves as a catalyst for reflection and action. My body of work is crafted with the hope of contributing positively to the collective awareness and appreciation of both art and the urgent issues it addresses.
My endeavors represent a platform for critical discourse, inviting viewers to contemplate their own impact on the world. As I continue to evolve as an artist, my commitment remains steadfast—trying to produce work that resonates with truth, urging a deeper engagement with our world's most pressing challenges.
