The report of practical work you are reading is the result which I have obtained from my study on the field of idea, composition, occurrence, two-dimensional and three dimensional spaces, texture, line, point, area, color (visual elements) and basic visual elements. Artists try to reflect and describe their mind and emotions through intermediaries.

Also, a painter should be able to communicate with his viewer and audience through the painting. It happens that in my work being truthful and close
to the object and nature in general plays an important role and the only thing I do is trying to correctly use these visual elements. I maintain Intentional or unintentional events that occurs in my work and I take advantage of them or sometimes I act regardless to the event and I cover theme. I try to use design (calligraphy) in a way that make me happy and has benefits for me. The start of my work and my preliminary preparation begins with covering the canvas with free colors, and with a complete freedom I try to get closer to the design and forecast of my dark and light areas. The spread of colors on each other and the covering of a color by another in my works create a halo of ambiguity challenging each other, and this method has the status of creation for me. My works are always changing and evolving. I argue so much with my works until something in the work makes me stop. But sometimes I do the exact opposite and I try to forecast some part of my work (the use of figures that I try to get close to three dimensional space) and I try to process theme
further. And it’s exactly the same way for my character. Topics more of my paintings are themes about nature and people how have made one with nature or people who are seeking for its destruction. In some paintings figures are mistakes in a mist of color, or they are on a dark background with white glaring, and in others the figures get closer and closer to reality. I try to give to my figures some senses and to make theme show themselves independently. So lines, colors, textures are used separately in each of my compositions.

In a series of my recent works I would like to discuss more topics about destruction of nature, and I’ve shown theme in situations which in each of theme it seems like nature has been raided or destroyed.

I use nature as an example for inspiration to create my own internal world and find the strength to react to the trend which has propagate to nowadays world (the destruction of nature). Techniques I used in this series started with free colors with diluted acrylic and then I applied more and more layers of acrylic colors. Finally I used oil color and finished my artwork.
