Artist Statement

From the inception of my artistic journey, I have delved into the examination of human relationships and their everyday lives, emphasizing the role of narrative in painting. The reflections of these studies are evident in my works. I have consistently sought the nexus between daily life and aesthetics in the contemporary world.
My experiences have allowed me to view the world and society around me with a unique perspective. My educational and professional journey inspired me to depict people and their daily lives, seeking aesthetics in the heart of daily life and the ordinary existence of humans. My paintings are born from the fabric of society and living with diverse individuals with various thoughts and emotions. The role of women in my country's society has consistently captured my mind and become a central theme in my work. Moreover, I firmly believe that delving into women's experiences, emotions, and feelings can offer a deeper understanding of myself as a woman and my place in the world.
Initially, my artistic endeavors were a personal quest for self-discovery, evolving into an inner adventure that led to the creation of artworks. Gradually, these discoveries acquired deeper meanings and profound significance. In this pursuit, I serve as a storyteller, narrating stories about my existential concerns, including issues of identity, gender, and human introspections.
Throughout my artistic life, I have been influenced by various individuals, from university professors and numerous artists throughout history to students and children whom I teach. Notable painters like David Hockney and Lucian Freud have had a significant influence on my artistic style. In addition to visual arts, my personal interest in literature, especially reading novels by my favorite author Fyodor Dostoevsky, has had a substantial impact on the thematic elements of my work.
Beauty in the everyday life of Iranians, a less-explored aspect in their paintings, has always captivated me. The relationships among people and their daily lives have consistently intrigued me. I strive to depict them in a unique and unconventional manner, aiming to unveil beauty beyond conventional habits.
My paintings feature abundant empty spaces, accentuating figures and the intricacies of life. The gaze of the figures enhances viewer engagement, while colors in my works, whether intentional or subconscious, convey the spirits and personalities of the depicted figures and their mutual feelings.
In the series featuring women and plants, the inclusion of plants alongside women intensifies the emotional aspects of feelings, alluding to environmental and feminine dimensions.
Generally, my domains of interest include the daily life of humans, the relationships among people, their emotions and feelings, as well as women and feminism. In creating my artworks, I embrace creative freedom, avoiding self-imposed constraints and allowing the process to unfold serendipitously. The creation of art for me typically takes shape through spontaneous and experimental exploration.
Ultimately, art has always been a game for me a realm where I could challenge and set my own rules. Transforming my visions into reality, capturing the essence of human existence, emotions, and feelings is the ongoing journey of self-expression.
