​

Originally Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, I grew up

in San Francisco, CA. I began painting at the age 

of twelve. My love for history, politics and art

led me to a career in Theater and Film Design.

​

Now, armed with a MFA in Stage and Film Design

from NYU's TISCH School of the Arts and over

thirteen years of experience as a professional

designer, I am motivated to return to my first love, painting.

​

My work often expresses an internal emotional or psychological state. All aspects of the composition serve to express this condition. My hope is to create a visual expression that is universal and can unite people through a shared experience.
