Concept of works
My work is  a contemplation in terms of being by looking through the inner consciousness upon artists. The scene was to be embodied from the world of beings comes out the features and subtle traces of inner mind through a process by layering many times with stone power in making of some matiere and painting on the surface by pigment several times and work again take them off.
In order to explore, his work’s experimental confidence is quite strong and he seemingly has continual adherence regarding of creativity. As matter of fact, without any spirit for the artists who are going to fall in work as if art craft-men, deservedly artists should have not only their own extraordinary thoughts, but indeed behavior he could be able to rethink and redefine regarding in  aesthetic view, which is most important factor of artwork accompany by considering of their conceit about new thing and object . Still he longing for new method of artwork, doing experimentation on his painting with timelessly efforts to survey his world beyond limit.

The stroke, in which he strive forth on both enormously passions and enthusiastic thoughts. However the essence of  his work does not implies general abstract or figurative painting, but has super metaphysical figures by penetrating one's inner heart under Gods creation. which is called as 'endless desire' by making of men's avaricios greed to be perished by its fatality, nothing to gain on himself which is finally in vain and vanity on living. In his work, audience may see and feel its intangible forms he want to express in elaborately, some time whimsically with various colours and stiring brush touches by his own tech, in some way of intentional colored line gesture.
