About Me

I am an artist based in Dubai and Belgium, originally from Iran, where I first explored my love for art and visuals through the strong artistic heritage and culture. At the age of 5, my playdates with my best friend or my mother always consisted of drawing time and creative activities. After strengthening my foundation in fine arts, I ranked 105th among 58,000 art applicants in Iran's National Universities Exam. This was followed by my move to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where I earned my Bachelor in Fine Arts in Studio Arts from the American University.

 

For the past eight years, I have been working on my art practice while exhibiting solo and participating in group shows across the UAE, including at the prestigious Expo 2020 Dubai, where I had the opportunity to share my vision with a global audience. I have also received several awards and accolades, including the World Zodiac Competition, the Global Undergraduate, Dubai Lynx Student Advertising Contest, and AUD Outstanding Visual Communication Student awards.

​

Meanwhile, I developed a fascination with children's picture books and literature. In order to delve deeper into children's literature, psychology, and education, I acquired my Master of Education from the American University in Dubai. Now, I combine my passion for art and education to create and share meaningful pieces that explore the intersections of memory, culture, and personal identity.

 

Additionally, I have experience teaching fine arts at the undergraduate level, and I enjoy designing and facilitating workshops to inspire and empower young people.

 

After my recent move to Belgium, I am now focused on exploring the international art scene and collaborating with other artists and organizations to promote art and culture in the region. Through my upcoming art shows and picture book publication projects, I look forward to continuing to develop and share my narrative-driven art practice with the world.
