I am an Iranian born Canadian artist whose passion for art began at the age of fourteen, when I was admitted to the Academy of fine arts in Tehran. My studies were abruptly halted by the Iran-Iraq war, forcing me to flee to Canada alone. This early experience of displacement profoundly shaped my artistic exploration of identity, belonging, and exile. I am a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto, Canada, I further honed my skills at Charles Cecil studios in Florence, Italy, studying traditional painting techniques. My work, a fusion of classical methods and contemporary vision, is distinguished by the unique use of gold and silver leaf with charcoal and oil. I have exhibited my work in public and private galleries nationally and internationally. For over 20 years, and have shared my expertise as a faculty member at the Ottawa School of Art and currently teach at Clark Centre for the arts In Toronto, continuing to inspire others through teaching and creative practice.
