Iris Painting

I was born on July 16th on 1965 and I passed my elementary to high school with success as many other students till I volunteered to join Iran army in Iran and Iraq war. War ended in 8 years but I stayed in army as a commander till I saw one of Master Farshchian "one of the most famous Persian artists" artworks and at the moment decided to enter the art world. It was quite hard for all people in my life to understand this massive change in my life. So I left army on 1990 to start art without any quondom experience. I joined some painting classes but I wasn't a fan of copying the artworks so left the classes to try art on my own way to study and get experience. By the time got dominated on many different techniques and within two years found myself ready to try my chance to enter "Binal" exhibition. Surprisingly they accepted my artwork and Tehran museum of contemporary art bought one of my paints as my first artwork customer. This event was a big motivation to make me work harder. I used to do only Persian art (Miniature&Tazhib) for 8 years. But my soul wouldn't get satisfied by only one style, so practiced oil color and water color as well as Persian style. I have participated in many ensemble and single exhibitions in Iran till 2005. And many of my art works was published as postal cards and posters. Also had some book cover designing orders from different publishers. ‌my first foreign exhibition was in the Iran pavilion at 2005 expo, Ichi, Japan. And as long as I was in Japan, had exhibitions in Iran embassy and in Yae Suru gallery. I met artist Shigunubu Muriyama in Tokyo and this event has became a start for a long term friendship and artistic communication till now.
