Visual / Multimedia Artist – Musician
Born in 1980, Iran.
I have been working in different fields of fine arts, practicing in visual arts and music since 2002.
I started to work as a freelance graphic designer and music composer for short movies and animations. I later focused on video arts, animated movies, and short films, and in the meantime worked on video graphic projects; I later moved to India (studied graphic arts), where I mostly focused on printmaking and photography, as also music, and after about six years I moved back to Iran since then I have been living and working there as a visual and video artist.
