Lives & works in Karaj, Iran
My main objective is to integrate history with the world of art. I always try to show everything that is hidden and forgotten in the pages of history in my artworks. I also use mixed media to produce and perform my works, because, with this technique, I will have a more open space and a wider format to present the meaning and content.
