After a long period of time – nearly 12 years because of some psychic Reasons, most of my works retreated to work with rapid graph at first and then with pen on paper with maximum sizes around 35 X 50 cm . Which I had two exhibitions of them. (I have to say these works certainly because they related the past and future of my work are important for me). Then I thought I would be better to find a tool that I could draw on bigger sizes of paper. In this term I found a sort of felts which I cut them in narrow sizes and tide them to a stick and drew with them by use of calligraphy ink. Later on I found some magic pens in various colors with good quality and permanent ink which they helped me to color my bigger drawing. On the other hand I used acrylic colors to paint surfaces. I don’t know these works are talking about what, but I can point out that I am not one of the painters which they believe on national identity. It is a long time that because of many reasons I have dropped these sorts of tendencies. At the same time I like more the representative and figurative western painters. I am disagreeing with dividing the worlds’ culture to east and west, without reaching to to a good result. But this does not contradict to this fact that I have my own taste in poetry, literature and cinema either in east or in west
