About Me
I was born in 2001 in Tehran, Iran. I moved to Vancouver, Canada, at age 17 by myself. I started studying Computer Science at college. During Covid, when I was 19, I lost my mom to Covid which in a way shaped me to being who I am today, as traumatizing as that was, having the independence from a young age, allowed me to allow myself to explore everything from my own special lens, and create a reality full of creativity and magic, with curiosity and playfulness at it’s core.
Now a surrealist artist based in New Westminster, BC, I explore themes of Mysticism, the subconscious, and profound existential questions. My work blends figurative elements with whimsical, dream-like landscapes, inviting viewers to explore new realities.
I plan to sail around the world, painting strange new worlds inspired by the people and places I encounter. This journey reflects the core theme of my art -An unwavering commitment to nature and the inner truth of the self, maintaining authenticity when challenged by adversity.
Check out my latest collection, “Hedghlore: Thirteen Versus”.
A collection of 13 oil paintings inspired by the album Folklore by Taylor Swift.
