MY STORY

 

HOW I ENDED UP HERE…

I started to learn photography from the age 14, in a professional studio, where I learned how to develop films and print them in different sizes. After some years I started to paint on negatives, and print them to see the results. By participating in some exhibitions even if I was younger than everybody else, I got many encouraging feed backs but that was not what I was searching for. So I started to do some time lapse stop motions, and later on some video arts and short films.

After a while I was a full grown man dressed up as a Buddhist monk living in a temple, but even then I felt that something is missing in my life, I always needed to create and get lost in my imagination. I left the temple and started to study Industrial engineering in university, at the same time I was working in an advertising company, one of the bests in Tehran. My job was making industrial movies for big factories, ads for National TV, portrait photography of famous actors, but it was not all I wanted, needless to say, I did all those things and it was a great deal for my career to have all those experiences, but I moved to Italy to continue my studies.

During my life in Italy, I traveled to discover more of the world, getting to know different cultures and thoughts, but I never stopped animating things, images, paintings and photographs. 

I had some exhibitions in different places as Rome, Milan, Sicily, Perugia In Italy, London in UK, Berlin and Leipzig in Germany Paris and Les Baux-de-Provence in France. Also some success in some important international festivals.

Now I am working as an animator and creative adviser in one of the best immersive video installation teams in the world, and I always enjoy to work with different musicians, artists, film projects and advertising agencies. So if you need a music video for your band or a video installation for your space in gallery or museum or even an animated ad for your company, don’t hesitate to drop me an email.

I live in Finland.
