Where We Come From Original | Prints Available

Every city began as a village, with shared paths, welcoming doors, and spaces where families gathered to eat, celebrate, and sleep beneath the stars. This is the place, Where we come from.

Traditional Persian doors have two knockers, one for men and one for women, each producing a different sound, respecting the privacy of those inside when family arrives they knock two door Knockers.

Through my paintings, I bring my childhood memories to life. My grandparents and their siblings owned a village in west-central Iran. Every summer, our extended family returned to the village. We ran through the fields, explored, danced, laughed, and celebrated together. At night, we slept on the balcony beneath the trees, watching the stars. Even today, I still dream of those summers. I paint these memories with gratitude for a time when everyone knew and cared for one another, a connection I fear the new generation is losing.

If a canvas can hold a door, it can hold a memory, too.
