ABOUT THE ARTWORK

As a social artist who has spent a lot on philosophy and social studies, I have come to the conclusion that we all are simply bodies that depending on our situation, conditions and opportunities choose a specific role for ourselves. Therefore, I decided to demonstrate this concept via a broad project. In this project, I have made human bodies in different forms and shapes, each having a pattern painted on them. Patterns are symbolic and primitive, and sometimes accompanied by texts, which are a depiction of wordless thoughts and beliefs.

I am an award-winning visual artist with works that focus on social and cultural issues. Since 2016 I have been drawn to focus on the subject of “the body”. Through my sculptures, paintings and posters I have dissected, reconstructed and reimagined a topic that growing up in Iran was shrouded in confusion, deciet and shame. I am proud to have globally shared my work with exhibitions in over 15 countries and winning awards such as first place at the International Biennial of Theatre Poster in Rzeszow, Poland, first place at the Fadjr International Theatre Festival in Teheran, Iran, and the silver medal at the International Poster Triennial Toyama, in Japan. I have been internationally recognized for my achievements by being invited to juror competitions and I am regularly invited to exhibit at renouned galleries in the UK such as King House Boyle, Fenderesky Gallery and The Engine Room Gallery. My works have also been acquired for public collections and can be found at the Museum of Mons Memorial Museum in Belgium and the Museum of Human Rights in Canada.
