Welcome to my very first blog post, where I invite you into the vibrant intersection of my life and artistic explorations. As an artist deeply immersed in both the real abstract style and the intricate art of collage, I find that my everyday experiences and my interests beautifully weave into the textures and hues of my artworks.

My Journey into Art

My journey into the world of art began at a young age, growing up in Tehran, where the rich tapestry of culture and history painted the backdrop of my childhood. I pursued formal education in painting at Soore University, where I developed a fondness for blending various artistic styles, ultimately focusing on real abstract and collage techniques. These styles allow me to express complex emotions and thoughts in a way that words could never fully capture.

Real Abstract Style

The real abstract style is not just about throwing random colors on a canvas; it’s a meticulous process of distilling reality into its most fundamental shapes and colors. This style challenges the viewer’s perception, encouraging a deeper engagement with the artwork. Each piece I create in this style is a dialogue between my inner thoughts and the canvas, a dialogue that is both revealing and concealing at the same time.

The Art of Collage

Collage art, on the other hand, is a dance of juxtaposition. It involves the delicate task of assembling various elements—pieces of paper, photographs, fabric, and sometimes even objects—into a cohesive whole. This method has a unique way of bringing disparate elements together to tell a story, much like how our memories stitch different moments of our lives into a single narrative.

A Fusion of Styles

In my studio, these two styles converge, creating a space where reality and abstraction meet. My pieces often start as abstract backgrounds, over which I layer elements of collage, creating depth and texture. This fusion is reflective of my life—complex, layered, and richly textured.

My Interests: Beyond the Canvas

My interests, however, extend beyond the boundaries of traditional art. I am deeply fascinated by psychology, which informs much of my artwork. Understanding human emotions and behaviors helps me to embed deeper meanings into my pieces. Additionally, I am an avid movie watcher, finding inspiration in the visual storytelling that films provide. Sports, particularly tennis and skating, keep me physically active and mentally sharp, both of which are crucial for my creative process.

Conclusion

This blog is a space for sharing how my life and interests not only influence my art but also how they are reflected in the pieces I create. Through my works, I invite you into my world—a world where art is not just seen but is experienced, a world where each piece tells a story, perhaps about you, perhaps about me, or about the world we navigate together.

I look forward to sharing more about my artistic journey and the many ways in which my personal interests continue to shape my art. Stay tuned for more insights, stories, and behind-the-scenes looks into my creative process.
