After graphic design, drawing and painting is the most important hobby in these days of my life! I’m really interested in linear drawing so, I begin my artworks with this fascinating style of drawing and sometimes I add them some colors to express more motions. Colors are also limited. Although in most of the artworks I had a live model, but sometime I try to go far from reality to reach surreal part of my mind.
In my artworks, figures, especially women, are not happy! Maybe for their condition in my country and the influence of this condition over my mind! I think, this special situation, gives a dramatic sense to my figures, just like a dramatic poem; maybe a dramatic visual poem!
