Biography
I became interested in painting when I read a book about Van Gogh in 1972. The book sparked curiosity and inspired me to instigate a change. My initial experimentation with oil paint generated such an excitement that I could not stop painting for days, resulting in several pleasing unfinished paintings. However, due to my personal and family circumstances, it took twenty years until I could fully get involved with the art of painting. In 1993, while residing and working in Miami Florida, I decided to seriously study and practice visual arts. At the time, I had twenty years of work experience in Iran, Argentina, and the United States. I had a Bachelor Degree in Management and was a Certified Internal Auditor. In the same year, I migrated to Adelaide, where I could took up university studies and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) at the University of South Australia.
