'The city in me' Artwork

Leaving behind the place I once called home. The vibrant heart of Iran still beats in me, though my feet now stand in Türkiye, a land where cultures intertwine and stories echo through the air. In my art, I’ve always been drawn to the contrasts that define the human experience. The clash of light and dark, chaos and peace, tradition and innovation. It’s in these contrasts where I find the pulse of life itself, the tension between opposites that breathes meaning into our world. The ancient stories of my homeland, with their intricate patterns and bold colours, have been my greatest teachers. They showed me that beauty isn’t found in uniformity, but in the way opposing forces come together to create something new, something whole. I began to see my work as a way of bridging these worlds, the old and the new, the known and the unknown. Each stroke, each colour choice, is a conversation between these contrasts, reflecting my journey, my roots, and the universal stories we all share. Every piece I create is an exploration of what it means to live in the space between, where differences meet, merge, and transform into something greater than their individual parts. My art is a testament to the power of contrasts, and a reminder that beauty often lies in the spaces where we least expect it.
