Beyond Glamour,Power, and Contradiction is the shared consciousness of ages,of beauty,pain, and perseverance.I weave different elements of my own personal experiences in the art and high fashion worlds along with my ideas into a personal tapestry that gives color to the visual collage of life.The mainstays of my work are painting,illustration,silkscreen,collage,multi-media and fashion design.I immigrated to the Bay Area of California from Tehran,Iran at the age of three-I then resided in Manhattan,New York for 10 years creating pop couture on models,celebrities, and on myself along with my mentor Michael Sears. I now reside in Los Angeles closer to my family and Tehrangeles. My aesthetic is a collage of multi-cultural critique and the contradictory celebration and negation of beauty and branding. My hopes are to inspire future generations of youth to be who they are and to strike oppose.
