Lives and works in Tehran, Iran
“I am a printmaker and a painter. Over the last few years, I have fully focused on printmaking skills, particularly the Mezzotint technique. My work takes reference from cold and gray atmospheres in man-made undergrounds. To my concern with the improvements in science and technology the man has exploited the environment and that has let us away from the nature. It could be said that the industrial development seems to have a paradoxical effect. It makes life more convenient in urban and modern lives, but at the same time, it damages natural resources and the environment which results an irreplaceable harm to all the creatures, including human beings. Thus, this damaging effect would gradually make life impossible on earth…”
