Conceptual art is my favorite style and my choice to create art.
I always try to use my paintings and skills as a tool for talking about sahaj subjects and draw what inspires me, for instant when I was reading a story about Shri Vishnu. I started to paint and illustrate some images that came into my attention.
Also, in my dog series, I have tried to convey the qualities and characteristics of chakras through symbolic painting.

Series Chakras
Dog is a symbol of loyalty, without any ego and superego. Circular shape indicates the notions of totality, idea of movement, ultimate state of oneness, Purity, subtlety, and tenderness. Considering yarn with its softness and circularity quality, I have used it in my paintings while showing color of each chakra.

Series Ancient
According to Zoroastrianism, fire is a sign of purity and truth. Hadayush is an ancient cow in Zoroastrian myths. This cow helps people to cross the Sea. It inspired me to show the concept of crossing the Nabhi chakra. Cypress is described as a symbol of ascent, freedom, life and has a key place in Iranian culture. It will not deviate to the left or right with the change of factors, internal and external pressures, and maintain its correct growth process. Cypress encourages us to see the natural transitions within the cycle of life. The cypress tree, was seen as a symbol of resistance against darkness, immortality and deathlessness to the Persian prophet Zoroaster. All hadioush series painted by mixed media (acrylic, ink, pastel, charcoal,…)

Series Lights & Shadows
"...verily all things move within your being in constant half embrace, the desired and the dreaded, the repugnant and the cherished, the pursued and that which you would escape. These things move within you as lights and shadows in pairs that cling. And when the shadow fades and is no more, the light that lingers becomes a shadow to another light”. Gibran Khalil Gibran
