I was
born in Mashhad in 1965 but have lived in Tehran most of my life. I attended
Hadaf High School in Tehran and later received a Mathematics Diploma.
Subsequently, I attended and graduated from Esfahan University with degree in
Physics. Despite my academic science background I was interested in
art from an early age starting out with small designs and sketches.
In my
early days, I studied and practised different style of paintings without having
any tutorship. I became very interested in historical persian art of "Minator"
Later, I started my apprenticeship under the mentorship of Mr. Mohammad Bagher
Aghamiri and Master Takestani, and worked at the art workshop of Mohammad Ali
Zolghadr for 6 years. As I developed my own unique style of painting I then
decided to have my own workshop / gallery. Over the last 15 years, I have
fine tuned my own style while remaining true to concept of "Miniatour"
paintings. Over the past few years I decided to teach my style of paintings and
have had several students from Tehran Art colleges attending my workshop. I am
proud that a few of these students are now artists in their own right.
In
general, I am very interested in sketching. Although the paintings posted on
this website represent traditional Iranian painting style, I am very eager in
sketching with pen and ink. I have special interest in the paintings of
Soltan Mohammad and Mirza Agha Emami and those of western painters, such as
Toulouse Lautrec.
The paintings in this gallery are all unique works of art. The digital and Negargari sections are totally my own design. The other sections are my interpretation of some old masters.
