Artist Biography:

Creating art is a marvelous thing in my eyes, it has accompanied me ever since I can remember. The process of things unfolding into something with substance and identity always captivates me. The journey in which dots start to form into a complete and valuable entity.

Often, I pause my work in the middle of the process, at an unfinished point. Sometimes it happens randomly because I simply don’t know how to proceed, and other times it’s intentional. Painting, drawing, sketching, sculpting, and working with digital tools—these are different techniques and mediums, each with its own essence and meaning. I greatly enjoy using them in a way that combines them to express myself, to articulate the process of creation while simultaneously conveying the resulting outcome. Sometimes, artworks are created from blended realms of different techniques.

Fortunately, I have preserved a large part of all the paintings I have created since my childhood. I decided to gather them and refine them into something more complete and clear through editing, connecting, writing, and adding. This in itself creates an interesting process—works I made in the year 2000 that I thought I had finished and closed are now reopened for reworking. In fact, they are kept in a state of continuous development, acquiring new interpretations and meanings. They also serve as a part that allows me to reflect on my own practice from a perspective of time, as a part of a complete and extensive creative process.

Throughout the years, I have experienced both difficulties and beautiful moments while dealing with mental situation. Art has always been there beside me, and now I would be delighted to share it with you.
