"I was ten, when a public
school opened in our village, Nameq. I passed four grades
in two years, and then I left to Meshed. When I was 12, I
loved painting and I painted portraits every day. After a
while, I left to Tabriz, visited painters and interested
in oil color painting. In 1956, I was in Tehran for two
year Military period, while attending at Reza Samimi
design courses. Really, I learned everything myself, while
designing every day.
In 1960, I started caricature, collaborating with
Roshan-Fekr magazine.
After 1979, four years studying water color painting in
Parviz Izad Panah classes.
1998-2003, water color painting from nature

caricature (cartoon-miniature), because there is a lot to say in this
field."
