I was born in Tehran, in a family where art was not an addition to life but its natural pulse. My earliest memories breathe with color, paper, and stories. After receiving my diploma in Graphic Arts, my life unfolded across borders; through travels, migrations, and the quiet practice of learning to belong to places that were once unfamiliar. Each country carried its own rhythm, its own palette, and I learned to listen.

 

I studied Music in Armenia, and later moved to France. Between the pale mornings of Paris and the warm evenings of Toulouse, something in me awakened with urgency. I spent countless hours painting, showing my work in pop-up shows, cultural gatherings, and local art nights; intimate spaces where creation felt like conversation.

 

I began with portraiture in soft pastels, then Persian calligraphy returned to me like a forgotten melody, weaving itself into the lines of my paintings. After moving to Canada, my focus shifted to figurative work, and I stepped into the delicate, unpredictable world of watercolor.

 

During pivotal political and social moments in Iran; events etched into the nation’s collective memory; I felt a personal responsibility to speak through the medium I knew best: graphic art. Some of these works traveled across social media, with or without my signature, while others were published by civil-society platforms such as Tavaana. Each piece was my attempt to witness, to reflect, and to honor those historic moments through visual narration.

 

Between 2020 and 2022, while working at Roqe Media as a graphic designer and web content creator, I shaped a cohesive visual voice across digital platforms. It was a chapter that taught me how design can carry clarity, emotion, and story, whether in a logo, a campaign image, or the quiet details of a website. Even in that professional world, art found its way into everything I touched.

 

In 2024, I began a deeply intentional journey of creating entirely hand-made bookmarks, small, tangible canvases where culture, memory, and imagination meet. Though I had experimented with bookmarks years earlier, those were only scattered creative exercises. The 2024 collection marked a turning point: each piece became a miniature space for traditional motifs, modern calligraphic forms, portraits of literary and artistic figures, nostalgic echoes of the Pahlavi era, and iconic Iranian imagery from Persepolis to Ahura Mazda.

The project continues to evolve, allowing me to refine techniques, explore new materials, and wander into fresh themes. It is one of the few places where I feel infinite, light, like the wind, and the joy of that freedom grows when its traces bring delight to others.

 

Along this path, I’ve also had the chance to merge visual art with music. I designed hand-rendered graphics for Kiosk’s 2021 album Sweet Destiny, and later created a large-format hand-painted piece inspired by the atmosphere of their 2023 album Desolateville. These collaborations bridged sound and image, blending narrative design with the tactile intimacy of handmade work.

Between migrations, studies, and artistic chapters, I worked - as many immigrants do - to hold life steady while allowing art to bloom in its own time.

Today, every step of that journey - every border crossed, every page turned - is woven into my work:

ink, color, memory, and an enduring desire to translate feeling into form.
