Interested in painting but feeling overwhelmed by how much there is to learn?
Why not start by learning how to draw a specific body part, like an eye?
Even though it’s just one body part, drawing a realistic eye takes a lot of skill. From capturing the lighting in the pupil and adding the wrinkles to mastering brush techniques for eyelashes and eyebrows — after just a few lessons, you’ll be amazed at how much you’ve learned. These skills, of course, can then be applied to your overall technique in painting.

"My education was in the field of computer science and I obtained a master's degree in executive management (MBA), but my interest and passion for painting since childhood led me to artistic activities. Under the supervision of professors such as Mr. Ali Akbar Begi, Rahim Navessi, Professor Naimi, and Professor Mir Sadrai, I pursued courses in hyperrealism, realism, miniature, etc.
My paintings and artworks are inspired by the rich history and culture of Iran, especially traditional Iranian tile art, combined with modern female figures. This fusion represents a bridge between tradition and modernity, telling endless stories. Most of my paintings are done in oil. I believe that painting and architectural design complement each other to create creative yet pleasing artworks. The use of traditional symbols, combined with modern painting, communicates this fact in my art.
Firstly, I hope tradition embraces modernism and growth. Secondly, I yearn for a return to the past. In my paintings, I often aim to provoke viewers to voluntarily explore the depths of their souls. Due to my art, I was selected as one of the 13 best women of Iran. I was also chosen as a speaker at the first TED-X event for children in Iran. Additionally, because of my creative paintings and distinctive style, I was awarded the Golden Visa of Amara as a commemoration."
