After the dominance of Islam in Iran, the teachings of the new religion prohibited the representation of humans in any form of art. Iranian artists tried to overcome this limitation by first conveying meaning and beauty through Arabesque design and then incorporating flowers and animals. In contemporary Iranian history, when fundamental Islamists came to power, they enforced compulsory veiling for women and promoted the black veil as a means to create a unified appearance among women. This was an abuse of women's bodies to establish a new national identity in opposition to the West. In resistance to this Islamic totalitarianism, Iranian women began wearing colorful clothes to challenge the imposed black veil and to break free from the heaviness of being the same. "Hope," represents the ongoing efforts of Iranian women to overcome darkness and live their lives as they wish.

Through my paintings, I endeavor to channel my deepest sentiments and innermost emotions onto the canvas. I firmly believe that art transcends boundaries and labels, forging a harmonious fusion of diverse artistic influences. Having grown up in Iran and now residing in Finland, I strive to harmoniously blend traditional Iranian arts with contemporary and abstract forms, breathing new life into endangered traditional art forms. My artistic vision extends beyond borders, advocating for a world where creativity knows no bounds. This visionary perspective has led me to explore a myriad of artistic genres, enabling me to intricately interlace elements from various art forms and tools. In select works, I amalgamate painting, calligraphy, and embroidery. Through my art, I aspire to act as a catalyst for positive change in the world. I wholeheartedly believe in the profound influence of art in creating a better world for all its inhabitants. Inspired by the historical struggles of Iranian women for gender equality, certain pieces of my work carry a powerful social message, with the aim of conveying it to people worldwide through the universal language of art. Similarly, my travels around the world have instilled in me the importance of preserving our singular planet for future generations. As a result, some of my works are centered around sustainability and environmental themes. Wellcome to my art journey.
