are totally self-taught and spontaneous. My self-feeling and experiences were only strong reasons
behind creating these artworks”

shades which are called “ life with closed eyes” which continued with a collection of colourful artworks
called “ dream with open eyes”. They are still being continued and painted up until today.
In fact, Bach music, Shostakovich, Motzart, small apartment in Tehran, his painting brushes and colours
are his only concerns and tools in his dreams and life. As
a matter of fact, one would notice the impact of the 19th & 20th centuries’ inspirations in painting left on
his canvases which would make his artworks different from others.
