Styles:
Years of romance (1971-78):
The works of this period are form the school years and the short years afterwards. These are romantic and surrealistic works colored by flash paints that reflect his dreams and might mares in those days. His attraction to the lines and logging to draw body, keeps him working for endless hours.
Years of large screens (1978-84):
This period coincides with early years of the revolution in Iran. Being influenced by social emotions, his works are presented on large screens with historic and social messages addressed to the general public.
Years of enlightenment (1984-onward):
After the second period, he began his endless search and effort to experience all materials and techniques. The contents of the works became still life, mythology, Iranian historic and artistic heritage, His struggle to experience more, led him to bring up and enhance Shiraz School and Manichean painting in his latest works. In these years he experienced the functional arts to bring the modern painting into the people’s homes. His works with ceramics, forged steel, felt pads and “gabbeh” are explicit samples.
