Artist Statement
I am a Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersection of nature, memory, and the unseen forces that shape our reality. Through painting and mixed media, I examine the interplay of color, light, and texture, using fluid layers and transparencies to evoke depth, movement, and space.
The mystical aspect of my Iranian heritage deeply informs my practice, particularly the understanding of light as divine presence and the veil as a threshold between visible and invisible worlds. This cultural lineage, combined with influences from artists like Helen Frankenthaler, Agnes Pelton, and Georgia O'Keeffe, drives me to give form to the intangible. I create layered, translucent compositions that suggest multiple realities existing simultaneously—where what is hidden and what is revealed exist in constant, beautiful dialogue.
My process embraces spontaneity and surrender, allowing materials to move organically and reveal unexpected connections. Each piece emerges through intuitive mark-making and the accumulation of translucent layers, mirroring the unpredictability of life itself. This approach invites natural forces and chance to participate in the creation, honoring the belief that beauty often arises when we release rigid control.
My work invites viewers to pause and reflect on what lies beyond the visible—creating visual portals into the vastness of the natural world and the mysteries that connect us to it and to each other.
