I’m an Iranian artist, based in Rome since 2010, where I moved just after college in Tehran for studying graphic design in fine art academy of Rome.
I used to be a documentary photographer but since 2014 I started to tell stories with drawings, a more original visual language, without any dependence of technology.
Being born and raised in Iran and moving to Europe in age of 18, the main inspiration for me is the difference between the cultures and countries so I’m constantly in travel meetings people of different places in the world and trying to find out the main difference between them and the rest of the world, then I try to do drawings about them, documentary drawings...

Till now I did drawings in more than 20 countries with which I had several exhibitions around the world...

I do also a series of prints from my works, which are in sale mainly in the museum shops in Europe :)

I love to learn about the languages as well, the way of saying impressions and body languages of different cultures.
