Iranian artist known for utopian and philosophical paintings that interrogate universal human precepts such as fear, hope and loss. Invites us to consider new realities and the shared universality of our existence through the portrayal of minimal heterotopic environments, surreal architectural arrangements, and the repeated use of symbolic elements such as stairs, balloons and aeroplanes. Subconsciously encapsulates and expresses a sense of suspension for an entire generation living in Iran. Work conveys hope that change can be effected, and it speaks with joy of what remains glorious in gloomy times. Aside from works on canvas, a wide range of print making techniques and sculpture, also one of Iran's foremost public artists. Painted over 100 gigantic murals throughout Tehran between 2004 and 2011 after answering an open call from the Municipality of Tehran's Beautification Bureau. After a major public commission in the United States, first exhibition for two years entitled Spaces Of Hope opened in March 2017 in London.
