Organic
connection
Works on paper

The Iranian The most significant aspect of making art, for me,
is the unique fulfillment of psychic, spiritual and
emotional needs. I work predominantly in mixed media, intuitively
and repetitively
layering, cutting, sorting, and folding selected materials; an
automatic reflex based on desire, need, and the awareness of one
situation's response to another.
The intimacy provided by the
sense of touch is revealed in the emphasis on texture, as bare
hands
are my tools of preference. I use fabric, paper, pigment, organic
material, photos, texture, smell, found objects and broken bits
of stuff, which resonate with a sense of history, nature, time
and place.
As an Iranian/American having
been raised in the Philippines and Iran; and having spent the
majority
of my artistic life
in Spain
and the US, I connect to the diverse patterns of culture
in search for a universal truth. Last <<< ....
