I was born in Tehran in 1961 and discovered my passion for painting very early -- I was 8 years old. I started working as a painter from age 16. Conditions were very favorable for making art at that time and I was utterly immersed in art and poetry -- in fact my colleagues and professors at the university used to call me "the poet painter". The work of Paul Klee inspired me and I loved the poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca. Painting was always the central part of my life and has remained so. I moved to Los Angeles in the year 2000.
