statement

The main characteristic of my recent works is the companionship of simple and ordinary elements which at the same time convey the sense of complexity and nostalgia. These elements are influenced by my surrounding social and political situations.The reflection of these situations can also be experienced by the presence of empty spaces. Dance of these empty spaces in each composition - to inspire the mind and raise some questions--
is similar to an unleashed attack of lunacy to penetrate and conquer the soul.
