Abraham is the common father of the three monotheistic religions. With such an intrinsic and universal link among these religions, I trust that tolerance and acceptance of others can be easier to achieve. This painting is one out of many in a traveler exhibition: Abraham, out of one, many. I wanted to say through the show that I strongly believe that with positive dialogue and well-intentioned conversation, the iceberg that represents our differences will be melted away to open the gates of a harmonious future together.

Presentation

Artist Statement:

My artworks involve in critical and ironic views of social, political and cultural issues, in which I attempt to convey a message that deconstruct details from our daily life and old memories that I got from my whole life and then synthesize them to get new shapes, thoughts and ideas. Such an attempt is colored by my personal experiences as a dreamer artist for better life, healthier cities and best atmosphere to live in. My artworks tell stories constitute a major anchor in the history of peoples and archiving infinite capriciousness. 
As an expressionist artist, I rely on my theme of my paintings on stories, tales and poems. I confront essential conditions of the human experience and struggle, namely the realities and rituals surrounding desire, fear and hope.
The figures in my paintings dance in woe, or relax in meditation… The images in my art speak of humanity yearning for stability and safety. And finally the conceptions depicted on my canvases are inspired by deliberations of the controversial issues facing our planet, our mother Earth.
