My style is Naturalistic, influenced by the style of “Persian Miniature” paintings. I have been painting since childhood, and have been most influenced by the Masters of Miniature paintings. A common theme in my work is the Gardens of paradise, as depicted by my memories; Persian poetry and literature, images from the past, etc., they all have the back drop of a “baagh”, a Persian Garden, which as Persians, is deeply set in our psyche.
