Born1972 Tehran

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The subject of my work is mainly based on urban environments and their occupants. Through my work I explore and comment on a variety of social exchanges and tensions which underline contemporary Iranian society, particularly amongst its youth.

I tend to use drawing and painting as my main medium and occasionally turn to photography.
