Personal Details

About Me

Expert in stone carving, modeling in water based clay and carving in stone or casting in Bronze, teaching, community cohesion using art and artist for development and peace.

From an early age, I was very interested in painting and handicrafts, and with my mother's encouragement, I drew my thoughts on paper. From the age of five until I was a teenager I learned blacksmithing from my father, and even after many years, I still benefit from the experiences of that time in my profession (sculpture). As a child, I was very interested in the environment and animals, and I made a collection of bird and fish bones for myself. From an early age, I was interested in the anatomy and body structures of living things, and I read books on paleontology and zoology with great pleasure and wonder. My interest in biology and paleontology has been very effective in making my characters and ideas. Over time, I became proficient in recording my mindset as drawing on paper and then executing it as a volume. I am a self-taught artist and have not been academically trained. Before making any sculpture, I do a lot of research on the character of my sculptures in order to establish a deep connection with my work and give spirit and feeling to my artworks.

Statement

"I am a self-taught sculptor with a passion for mastering human and animal anatomy. Through my own study and a deep interest in documentaries and medical student autopsy programs at Tehran University between the ages of 25 and 30, I have developed a unique understanding of the human and animal form that I bring to my work. Today, I am proud to run my own private gallery where I create sculptures in bronze material. My current project involves creating real-life dimensions of the world's most influential artists, and I have already completed four artists from this project. While I have a set of ideas that I am bringing to life in bronze, I am also planning to push myself by working in direct steel, which I believe will be one of my most challenging sculptures to date. In addition to my sculpting work, I am also passionate about passing on my knowledge to others. I have a number of students whom I train, and it brings me great joy to see them learn and grow in their own artistic pursuits."
