I was living in Iran for one year, in Tehran, on the snow mountain. That was the year 1395, in Persian Calendar. During the Persian New Year holiday, I took a notebook and several markers and started my first painting trip, from Tehran, to Anzali, Isfahan, Naein and Shiraz.

The Journey begins
Imagine all the  possibilities, I choose you, Persia

Anzali
I love how I love flowers, more than my life  

The Caspian Sea
My little boat, please take me to the world
and bring me delicious white fish 

Isfahan ∙ Naqsh -E Jahan Square
We drink and dance, we laugh and cry, we dream and dream

Isfahan ∙Hasht Behesht
Every piece of the wall is telling a unique history

Isfahan ∙ Imam Mosque
the door to heaven is blue, and your eyes too

Naein ∙ Handmade Carpet
I was born on the carpet, I lived on the carpet, and I died on the carpet
I spent all my live on the carpet 

Naein ∙Wind Catcher
It’s so hot in the desert, I need to create natural ventilation in buildings

Shiraz∙Shrine of Shah Cheragh
1000 years after his death, we followed the light to his grave
and build an ever-burning grave for him

Shiraz ∙ Tomb of Hafez
People love his wisdom and poems, they come to his tomb from day to night He said, gave me wine, I’m drunk for love, but people call me wise man

Shiraz ∙ Nasir ol Molk Mosque
“I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.”
