Statement:

The artist's work includes small and large-format paintings in oil on canvas, sculptures made of ceramics, metal and wood, and collages that she puts together from drawings, cutouts, pasting and overpainting.///

She archives, arranges and reuses the remains of her artistic work in the form of cutouts and leftover material. The resulting forms move from oil paintings to softly folded or playfully symbolic wall sculptures to collages and into the archive collection.

Her working method combines the different genres in which she works: layer by layer, she cuts the objects in her paintings out of the colored background by applying black paint; layer by layer, she loosely assembles shapes cut out of paper in her collages or sticks transparent foil over drawings and color prints; layer by layer, she works the surface of her ceramic or wooden sculptures with pencil until they acquire a metallic sheen.

She transforms the materials used, makes inorganic things appear organic, gives different surfaces a painterly quality and plays with the fact that we as viewers do not immediately recognize whether an object is made of ceramic, wood or metal.

This keeps the works of art open and accessible: they play with the magic of the unfinished and contrast perfectly worked out areas with still raw areas, which arouses curiosity and makes the viewer think.

Since one cannot always be sure what material a collage or a sculpture is made of, one is tempted to touch it. The artist consistently continues this invitation by creating interactive, moving sculptures. 

The forms, which move from artwork to artwork and from one genre to another and are thus in a permanent state of suspension, recall the artist's cultural background in Iran, the urban landscapes of Tehran, London and Berlin, the connections and seemingly insurmountable breaks between the present and history and between different cultures.
