Statement
In my belief, nobody can ever express that I graduated from a certain field of art, this opinion is acceptable for a university or academy and a limited period, but the artistic process, especially painting, has an unattainable end, and the artist is always acquiring and studying it.
I am also engaged in the art of painting and drawing and every day I acquire new and fresh insights from my life in the ocean of art. I have an interest and passion for design, which has been with me since childhood and helps me express my art today. Until today, all I have tried to do is to honestly reflect my perceptions in my art, and I believe that art without honesty is worthless. Even though I live in a country where the living environment for a figurative artist is never suitable and stable and the harsh religious, social and political conditions lead to the artist’s isolation. I have never stepped outside the bounds of artistic honesty, even though I have been forced to moderate my frankness.
If you ask about my artworks, I ought to say that my works are the expression of my feelings in opposition to beauty and ugliness, and that is the only place where I am free and free to do whatever I want.
I have a great interest and attention to the existential nature of humans, the worrying awareness of man and his loneliness, and the emptiness and an infinite regress of life, death, decay, and darkness, all of which define the two concepts of eroticism and aesthetics for me.
