-Summer Of Love-

dedicated to the gay cruise I was attending in October 2018, Mediterranean Sea.
With my art I want to promote healthier, more tolerant attitudes about sexuality. Regardless of race, creed, religion, gender, sexual identity, medium of expression or any other censoring criteria.

I <3 men and the open sea.

2021 seems to be another incredibly uncertain year for many of us. Nevertheless, there always seems to be the “right” or “reasonable” way to choose for our lives, the job and love. How much better would we feel if we only relied on ourselves and our own decisions?

The series of posters for admission promotion of several programs of the architecture school, The University of Hong Kong, features different gradients of bright and vibrant hues, creating a sense of spectrum to celebrate the diversity and versatility of the school and projects a hopefulness to the prospective students.

Educational cards created to strengthen the learning of the abc for kids. The cards have a fun and typographical approach, the design use repetition as a form to memorize the forms of the characters and display different words to enrich the kids vocabularies.

Can we openly communicate about our different individual identities ?
The global consciousness and changes that happens in our society today, brought us to foster transformational thinking in class, encouraging tolerance, and respect on issues related to “Diversity” and “Gender identities.”
In this simple graphic exercise students have worked on their own portrait to tackle those delicate subjects.
Using their own subjective inner feelings, limited to four single colors, they translated each of their portrait into a colorful halftone
effect. They found themselves embracing naturally the differences of their personal values, independently of beliefs and cultural background.

Typographic composition toying with the notion of whether colour exists at all. Taken from the ongoing series “Epigrams”.

Poster design for Kieslowski’s Three Colors trilogy.

During the pandemic I was trying to deal with mental illness, similar to so many other people. My playful nature and creative drive as a maker was getting sucked dry by corporate work life and everything else going on. This work was created and prompted by a friend encouraging me and others to create posters inspired by the word hope. The word hope paired with the exclusion of judgement allowed me to strip away bullshit and get back to what I do best, play and create.

My work is inspired by the sewing homework of my granny, I just mixed the family tradition with my creative side. I like the relief provided by the fabrics on my frames. It’s a work of precision and a lot of patience. The artwork « Robot » is also inspired by one of my favorite illustrator Malika Favre. I loved this retro and nostalgic side of the robots from my childhood.

Typography with the word “Love”
Love is called “عشق” in Persian. In this design, only love dots are used as Iranian calligraphy and heart shape as a symbol of love.
This project has been designed by the order of “Nowmana Charity” located in Iran and has been printed on T-shirts.

i wrote the letters with dishwasher soap to celebrate my home. my chamber of reflection.

Cycling kit for Las Vegas Women’s Cycling team in Las Vegas, NV. Colavita is the main sponsor. Bright colors were used for motorist awareness. Neon lime, pink, blue, purple and teal were used to stand out against a black background and contrast with the Las Vegas desert landscape. Bike parts were illustrated and arranged to depict a Day of the Dead motif, with a skull as the primary artwork and identifier of this popular
holiday. As this is a women’s cycling team
(the sponsor company is Colavita), I incorporated the idea of bike parts as if they were different shapes of pasta.

positive negative neon derivation is the effect of the intersection of many positive negative configurations, inspire by Bruno Munari’s omonymous work.

Hard edge is part of a series of images that dives into concretism and it’s manifesto, depicting clear and universal images of shapes and colorfields.

When i have a creative blockage, i have to go beyond my self-imposed boundaries. I have to go wild, fall out of line, show courage to be ugly

The cover was loosely inspired by a trip described in an excerpt from the book, narrated by the poet Roberto Piva, a counterculture icon in Brazil. In his “trip”, Piva describes that he sees the sun transformed into a tangerine, which drips love on Earth, during his stay in Serra da Cantareira, to the sound of Jimmy Hendrix, under the effect of “Purple Haze”. The cover is printed on rough paper, its finish has a “perforation” and simulates a low quality print, as occurs in the LSD cards.

“Plantae” is a serie of posters originated in the sketches for the cover of the book “Amazônia”, by Editora Elefante, that debates about the condition of the biome and the attacks suffered by it, under the developmental / exploratory / neoliberal aegis.

The three posters in the sequence are inspired by common plants from the Atlantic Forest biome, one of the largest Brazilian biomes, each originating from a different continent: Ouro de Mandela or Bird of paradise (South Africa), Papagaio, Caetê or Bananeira-do-brejo or Heliconia rostrata (South America) Banana-rosa or banana-peluda or Musa velutina (South Asia) showing a little of the great ethnic plurality also present in our flora.

The poster was designed as part of a poster competition at the Zurich University of the Arts for the Langnau Jazz Nights 2020. It won 1st place. Due to the pandemic it will now be used for the 2022 edition. The poster reflects the dimly warm, vibrant atmosphere at a jazz bar and takes up the typical colors of the lighting there. If you look at the poster from some distance, you may be able to recognize the word “jazz”.

The experimental graphic piece »Siblings« is both a color and a typography study. The three colors used are primarily subject to the function of visual tools, the choice was therefore less based on any criterion of beauty. The goal is the permanent visual negotiation of foreground and background or positive and negative space through extremely different color contrasts and their respective intensity.
Technically the work only contains the full names of my two sons. The mechanical letter forms are arranged in a very strict grid, which results in an abstract pattern that creates rhythm and restlessness at the same time mostly through the color change.

I am submitting five digital collages made from Instagram and Tumblr posts. I was inspired by the theme colors to examine summertime sadness in different ways and express it through colors and pictures. In my work I always try to express my innermost feelings to grapple with the world.
