Growing up in Queens, I rode the train to school every day, watching graffiti rush past the windows. It wasn’t just paint on metal. It was movement, rebellion, and energy all at once. It felt alive. What started as curiosity slowly became a way for me to understand the world around me, and eventually a commitment I never let go of.

I make art to tell stories of all kinds. Some are personal, pulled from memory and experience. Others are cultural or collective, shaped by cities, migration, and the people who move through them. I’m interested in the big picture, but I’m just as focused on the small details. A single line, a symbol, a face, or a phrase can carry as much weight as an entire composition. Every piece is my attempt to hold as much of that as possible in one place.

Graffiti is my foundation. It taught me how to trust my instincts, work fast, and take risks. It taught me how to read a space and respond to it honestly. Over time, that raw street language grew as I kept learning, experimenting, and pushing myself. Today, my work brings together the grit and motion of graffiti with a cleaner, more intentional design approach. I lean into what I know, while constantly challenging myself to grow beyond it.

I want people to run into my work when they aren’t expecting it and feel something right away. I want it to feel empowering, something that pulls you in and makes you stop for a moment. I want people to see possibility in it, to notice how many layers are there once they really start looking. Nothing in my work is accidental. The longer you spend with it, the more it opens up. It’s meant to be lived with, not just seen once and forgotten. Everything I’ve lived through shows up in the work.

Being born in Iran. Growing up in New York. Drawing as a kid, painting graffiti with crews, and eventually creating commissioned work across the country. Each phase shaped how I see the world and how I communicate through art. At its core, my work is about movement, energy, and storytelling. It reflects where I come from, where I am now, and where I’m still going. Whether it’s on brick, concrete, canvas, or inside an immersive space, my goal is the same. I want the work to feel alive. I want it to connect. I want it to be felt.
