هنر و زندگی

In my work, i’m in pursuit of a registration of an experience from a limited world where everything stops for a moment and emotions freeze in a way that they fit into a rectangle. Each painting represents a part of the journey of life and reveals a moment along it, and by placing them together, they reveal a broader aspect of the reality of my world, showing the relationship between the characters and the elements around them. We are all, combinations of both good and bad events from our past, and every story ultimately turns into a battle between good and evil. It is in the midst of these transformations and decisions that each individual shapes their character and choices, altering the future and finding the necessary motivation to carry out tasks and make decisions. This process repeats itself between me and the world each time, starting anew until I free all the images that have stuck in my mind.

In this way, each painting aims to show the constant elements of the world and the variable characters within it. Amidst this, human emotions are more important than anything else: love, hatred, resentment, lies, the future… and perhaps that’s the only thing that matters, because these emotions are the essence of all creatures of nature. Emotions and realities are hidden behind colors and forms, their combination creates an abstract space and leads to a kind of silence and timelessness that provides the necessary empty space for drawing and continuing.
