Homage to the Persian Miniature

This body of work is inspired by the imagery of 15th–16th century Persian miniatures. The scenes depict celebrations, lovers enjoying nature, and moments of shared joy. These images reference a golden era in Iranian history, when the country was a flourishing center of poetry, art, science, and intellectual advancement.

Revisiting this rich heritage serves both as an homage to the cultural achievements Iranians have realized throughout history and as a hopeful vision for a bright and dynamic future for contemporary Iran.
