About me
I was born in Tehran, Iran, and now I live in Denmark. I am a self-taught painter. I earned a degree in Economics from a university in Tehran and studied art in Næstved, Denmark.
I have developed my own artistic style — Carpet Painting— and I also create ballpoint pen drawings on newspaper and canvas.
I received an honorary gold medal from the World Peace Organization in recognition of creating a new artistic style and for my socially realistic paintings and drawings.
I was selected as the Best Artist at the Modern Art Exhibition, Art Hillerød, in Denmark in both 2024 and 2025. I also received the Peacock Award for Science and the Arts from the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Denmark in 2019. Additionally, I was chosen as the best artist among around three hundred participants at an art festival held by the Budding Art Academy in England. In 2018, I was recognized as one of the best portrait painters in Denmark.
I received the KuBa Prize for Best Artist of the Year twice — in 2020 and again in 2025.
I am a member of the Næstved Art Association and the KuBa Artists’ Association.
I work as both a teacher and a painter. My interest in visual art began in childhood and intensified during the war. Through my paintings, I try to convey my emotions. I started by drawing conceptual images — often related to weapons and war.
My paintings are mostly figurative, and heads and faces are central symbols in my work. I especially focus on the eyes, because I believe that emotions are transmitted through them. Through illustrations and paintings, I express inner thoughts and feelings drawn from my experiences and daily life. When I sit in front of the canvas, the images I create reflect either what has happened or what I imagine might happen in the future. These images are expressions of human emotions such as hope, fear, anger, happiness, sadness, anxiety, and sometimes visions beyond reality.
I strive to create unique art in a distinctive style — a style that I see as the beginning of a new movement for contemporary artists.
I have participated in many solo and group exhibitions in various countries, including Spain, Sweden, Italy, Japan, Iran, and numerous times in Denmark.
