Person working with ceramics, surrounded by pottery on shelves.

Biography

I am a ceramist from Iran, a land shaped by geological time and natural majesty. After academic studies in Economics and Linguistics in Europe, it was in my late twenties that I found my way to clay—a material that felt like home, reconnecting me with my early fascination for rocks, earth, and the history embedded in Persian ceramics.

Largely self-taught, I have been working with clay for the past decade. My practice is rooted in hand-building techniques, especially coil building, which I use to create both defined forms and also sculptural, one-of-a-kind vessels. These forms are not meant to serve function—they are meditations on shape, scale, and surface.

My glazing approach is deeply intuitive and spontaneous, embracing chance and the poetry of imperfection. The surfaces I create fall into two distinct worlds: one echoing the delicate, blue-and-white traditions of Persian and Japanese ceramics; the other shaped by a deep reverence for nature—geology, weathering, erosion, and decay.

My work is an ongoing conversation between earth and form, tradition and freedom, structure and chance.
