My journey as a self-taught abstract artist mirrors the unexpected turns of life itself. In my art, I break free from conventional techniques and work mostly with alcohol inks, embracing their fluidity and unpredictability. I allow these vibrant colors to unfold freely across the canvas, creating organic, dynamic forms. Each piece is an exploration of color, texture, and the balance between chance and intention. Touches of gold highlight the richness and depth within these abstract compositions, capturing moments of reflection, letting go, and trusting the process — much like life itself.
Through my art, I strive not just to create visually striking pieces, but to evoke a sense of connection and introspection in those who encounter my work. Just as life’s most meaningful moments are often born from unpredictability, my hope is that viewers will feel compelled to embrace the unknown, to find beauty in imperfection, and to see each piece as an invitation to step into the flow of life.

Biography
“As a first-generation American with Persian heritage, growing up in Dallas, Texas, allowed me to experience the best of both worlds – the deep traditions of my family and the vibrancy of Western culture. Yet, it wasn't until 2010 when a trip to Germany would change the course of my life entirely. What was meant to be a short visit turned into the most exciting chapter – I was so captivated by the beauty, culture, and timeless heritage of Europe that I never left.”
