SUMMARY:Honorable Mention—The Art League December 2025 Open Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Canyon Bride from my recent series\, Spirits\, was selected and won an Honorable Mention by the independent juror\, Amy Waldrop\, for the Art League’s December 2025 Open Exhibit. I was very excited about this selection\, as this was the debut of the Spirits series outside my studio. \nConsequently\, the first edition of Canyon Bride was sold at The Art League Gallery even before the opening reception. Since the buyer was traveling\, the gallery had to remove it\, but they kindly allowed me to replace it with another painting from the same series. Visit The Art League Gallery to see Crimson Pass and walk to my studio (No. 5) for several other paintings from my Spirits series. \nCrimson Pass 24×24\n  \nAbout the selected pieces: \nThe veiled figure rises from the landscape\, symbolizing the ethereal emergence of nature’s guardians and underscoring humanity’s inherent connection to and responsibility for the Earth. The “Spirits” series fuses figurative and landscape painting through a unique technique employing dense\, filament-like lines and parallel striations\, reminiscent of intaglio or etching. I hope to emphasize environmental awareness with this approach. \nThe Art League December Open Exhibit will be on display from December 11 to January 4. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Art League Little Winter 2025 Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:My mixed media miniature painting\, Botanical Parallax II\, was selected for The Art League’s Little Winter Exhibit. Little Winter is an annual exhibit of miniature work\, perfect for the holiday season\, and small gifts and souvenirs for tourists visiting the Torpedo Factory Art Center\, one of the landmarks of Old Town Alexandria near DC. \nThe Art League has three other exhibits in November: Monochrom\, a solo show\, and ceramics and bladesmithing. I also have several unframed flat files\, handmade cards and one wall piece in the adjacent Gallery 75. \nThe exhibits are on display from November 6 to December 7. \nMy own studio is just a few steps from The Art League Gallery with many more holiday-perfect original art\, prints and accessories\, and I hope you visit both! \n

SUMMARY:Chronicles: Storytelling Through Imagery\, Annmarie Arts Center\, The Smithsonian
DESCRIPTION:Craning the Net from my Figurative series has been selected for the Chronicles: Storytelling Through Imagery exhibit at Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center by the juror Elizabeth Dale-Deines\, Public Programs Manager at the National Air and Space Museum. This marks my third consecutive acceptance at this prestigious venue affiliated with The Smithsonian.  \nThe exhibition will run from October 10 through January 18\, 2026\, offering you ample time to experience the art and the beautiful gardens.  \nAbout Craning the Net: \nA mixed media—spray paint\, watercolor\, acrylic\, charcoal and collage on a 20×60” canvas in which I combined an abstract female form and the net (left and below)\, resulting from spray-painting over a fishing net and a more representational male figure and construction tools on the right (charcoal and collage). It depicts the constant human struggle to make ends meet. Meanwhile\, a grander landscape appears with an optimistic energy on the horizon\, symbolizing hope.

SUMMARY:DC Art Now 2025
DESCRIPTION:The DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (CAH) FY 2026 Art Bank Program has selected my painting\, “Unhinged\,” among its finalists\, following my invitation to participate. It is featured on the screen as part of the DC Art Now 2025 Exhibit\, September 11 – December 12. \nWe celebrated the opening of the exhibition and honored all Art Bank finalists with a reception to kick off DC’s Art All Night weekend on September 11\, 2025. \n  \nAbout Unhinged: \nUnhinged is an attempt to relax the viewers\, take their minds off daily obstacles\, and engage them in a fun visual trick or illusion. Viewers may wonder if it’s meant to be about faces (profiles)\, plants\, or buildings. And it is whatever they want it to be. I used fluorescent pink and light shades of yellow-green (acrylic) to create a soft background atmosphere\, then energized it with dangling and upward-growing shapes (spray paint) and fixed-width thinner lines (collaged blue tape). The two futuristic orange spheres (eyes) and the lines (outlines of human or bird heads) interact to generate three whimsical profiles\, with only two present simultaneously\, depending on which way you look at it—the wave being the mouth and nose or chin for all three. \n

SUMMARY:Retrospective Solo Show – Patterned Nuances
DESCRIPTION:I am honored to have been invited to showcase a solo exhibition at the Iranian-American Community Center as part of Patterned Nuances\, a three-artist exhibit featuring works by Iran Davar Ardalan\, Sookkyoung Park\, and my own. \nMy section includes 33 pieces created between 2015 and 2025\, presenting a retrospective look at my artistic journey over the past decade. This exhibition showcases how I have expanded my main series by transforming linear divisions into perspective cuts\, thereby generating my color fields within a simulation of depth. The majority of the works are drawn from my most recent collections\, specifically from 2023 to 2025\, as my collections have become more diverse in recent years. \nThis exhibit is open to the public daily from September 7 to October 5\, 10 am – 6 pm.

SUMMARY:The Art League August 2025 Open Exhibit—Awarded
DESCRIPTION:Stretch from my Figurative series was selected and awarded an Honorable Mention by Jessica Randolph\, the independent juror of The Art League’s August 2025 Open Exhibit. This painting is also featured by East City Art\, a leading voice in documenting and promoting the city’s thriving visual art culture. \nThe exhibit will be on display from August 7 to September 7\, open daily throughout the week. I will be happy to welcome you to my own studio (#5)\, steps away from The Art League Gallery\, if you visit Thursday through Sunday in the afternoon. \nAbout the selected piece: \nStretch is mixed media: pastel\, acrylic\, ink\, collage and pigment print on a 36×36″ wood panel. Here\, I present a male figure in a state of physical extension\, adorned with patterns inspired by African body art and batik fabrics. The figure’s skin displays a mosaic of colors and designs\, reminiscent of various African tribal adornments. This detailed application on the figure contrasts with the background elements\, which feature bold colors such as lime green and fuchsia alongside architectural or abstract lines. The title ‘Stretch’ refers to the figure’s pose\, and also acknowledges the ongoing resilience and endurance required amidst current hardships and conflicts present in parts of Africa. The painting combines traditional artistic influences with contemporary elements.

SUMMARY:MFA\, The Power of Color 2025
DESCRIPTION:Castle Fields\, from my Colorfield series\, was selected by John Wellington\, juror of the Maryland Federation of Art (MFA) The Power of Color Art Exhibit\, Summer 2025\, at the Circle Gallery in Downtown Annapolis. \nI am excited to be among the 55 artists selected from 533 entries and at the heart of one of my favorite art-loving cities in the Mid-Atlantic\, Annapolis. \nDuration: July 30–August 23 \nClosing In-Person Reception: Saturday\, August 23\, 4–6 pm \nConcept: \nAs a colorist\, all my works pivot around color. However\, the Colorfield series is mainly characterized by intense color with a broader spectrum.\nSpending most of my life in Washington\, D.C.\, with access to significant works by the founders of Washington Color School\, I’ve further developed colorist and color-field styles by introducing familiar forms or complex abstract expressions.\nIn this painting\, I employed versatile contemporary media to achieve a diverse range of layering techniques.

SUMMARY:Essence Exhibit\, Athenaeum Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Eclosion from my Baroque series was selected for the Essence exhibit at the Athenaeum Gallery\, Alexandria\, VA. \nThis exhibition showcases the diverse ways in which DMV artists have captured a person’s (or persons’) essence—the physical and intangible characteristics that define us. \nI am honored to be part of this highly competitive exhibit among the 50 artists selected from almost 500 submissions. \nExhibit Duration: \nJuly 3 – August 10\, 2025 \nClosing Reception: \nAugust 10\, 2–4 pm \nGallery Hours: \nThe gallery is open Thursday through Sunday\, from noon to four each day. \n  \nAbout Eclosion: \nOne of my Braoque series\, I created this painting to explore the concept of emergence amidst falling. The figure within it represents a state of transition. Forms extending from the figure’s back suggest a development\, a breaking free. I positioned the figure in a recline\, a posture often associated with rest or contemplation\, but here\, it indicates the moment of change itself. \nThe environment around the figure is constructed with geometric planes and lines. I used these elements to define the space and provide a structure that both contains and allows for the unfolding event. The color variations within these planes and on the emerging forms indicate shifts in light and atmosphere. Through this work\, I aimed to present a visual representation of the internal and external processes involved in a significant transformation. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Pink Thread Exhibit at Tyson's Galleria
DESCRIPTION:Quantum Gravity from my Perspective series and Fallout from my Figurative series have been selected for Pink Thread\, a pop-up art exhibit based on D.C. WorldPride’s “The Fabric of Freedom.” \nThis is a good place to see how local artists express their quest for freedom and support for the LGBTQ+ community’s ongoing fight for equality\, visibility\, and justice. \nExhibition duration: Wednesday\, June 11 – Wednesday\, August 27 \nWhere: Neiman Marcus Cafe -1st fl\, Neiman Marcus\, Tyson’s Galleria\, VA\n\nAbout the paintings\n\nQuantum Gravity:\nMy interest in contemporary theoretical science indirectly inspired this. Our understanding of gravity has undergone several facelifts in the past hundred years and is still evolving. Here\, I have double-collaged (first digitally and then physically) two digital simulations of 3D sculptures\, one of which I created and the other a stock image I altered on top of the painted wood panel. The merging of digital and physical paintings reminds me of how scientists try to superimpose macro and quantum physics. I truly grasp their struggle when I deal with a simulated perspective while keeping the theme abstract. It is the same type of juxtaposition that I hope will work and keep altering until it does. I let the viewer interpret the narrative here. Hint: It’s all about freedom of expression.\n\nFallOut:\nExploring the space between landscape and figure\, through “Fallout\,” I aim to add layers of curiosity. The title potentially suggests the outcome of an event or a state of change. I hope it prompts viewers to consider the relationship between humans and their cultural\, traditional\, or altered and alienated environments.

SUMMARY:The Art League April 2025 miniMAX Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:My miniature painting Fractum Terra\, from the Colorfied series\, was selected and awarded an Honorable Mention by Elaine Qiu\, the independent juror of the month for the April 2025 miniMAX Exhibit at The Art League\, Alexandria\, VA. This painting was sold the day after the opening and replaced by Fractured Land from the same series. \nVisit the gallery any day of the week from 10 am to 6 pm for this unique art exhibition\, where the sizes of the displayed art contrast in extremes. \nI also have several pieces on the wall and in flat files in the adjacent Gallery 75\, located within the same venue. My studio is only a few steps from The Art League Gallery. Come and see me if you are visiting for the weekend. \nAbout both paintings: \nIn paintings of this series\, I’ve evolved the traditional color field paintings characterized by the Washington Color School\, which I studied in depth\, into compositions with quasi-perspective grids and elements of nature and architecture as color fields that push them towards somehow recognizable landscapes with a hybrid process—acrylic and ink on pigment print of digital art on heavy art paper mounted on wood.

SUMMARY:MFA\, Reflecting\, Spring 2025 Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:My painting\, Abandoned from my Inner Garden collection\, Perspective series\, was selected by Joey P. Málapaz\, juror of Maryland Federation of Art (MFA) Reflecting Art Exhibit\, Spring 2025 at MFA’s iconic location\, Circle Gallery in Downtown Annapolis. \nThis is my first participation at MFA. I am excited about being featured at the heart of one of my favorite art-loving cities in the Mid-Atlantic\, Annapolis. \nDuration: March 26–April 26 \nClosing In-Person Reception: Saturday\, April 26\, 4–6 pm \n  \nConcept: \nNature and plant life reclaiming abandoned buildings have been a particular source of inspiration for this painting\, which connects with our environmental consciousness. White lotus flowers grow in a flooded abandoned bar or perhaps in mid-air\, as there is no clear ground\, just abstract reflections and refractions—the void between what is recognizable and the unknown. The viewer is invited to fill in the gaps. \nMedia:  \nMixed media: watercolor\, ink and pigment print on water media wood panel

SUMMARY:Fragments: Reflections on Memory
DESCRIPTION:Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Art Center Juried Exhibit\nSwan Song from my Perspective series was selected by Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center In Association with the Smithsonian Institution for the Fragments: Reflections on Memory Art Exhibition\, which is on display in the Kay Daugherty Gallery of the center for two months. We had a great opening reception and I recommend visiting the gallery during the day while the show is on to also enjoy the magical sculpture garden. \nThis exhibition explores how individual and collective memory can shape our identity and perception and influence our understanding of the world. Memory intertwines with our daily lives and is a fluid\, shifting narrative. \nDuration: \nFebruary 21 – April 27\, 2025 \nA few words about the artwork: \nSwan Song is a visualization of orchestral music inspired by classical music. Fragmented color fields vibrate at different levels. I use multidirectional perspectives to mimic musical harmony and my childhood memories of the first large classical performances I attended. The swan with a cut-off reflection is lost in the vast man-made interior\, depicting our endangered nature; hence\, the swan’s last song. \n

SUMMARY:Hill Center Galleries 2025 Regional Juried Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Winter Refuge from my Inner Gardens collection\, Perspective series\, was selected by the independent Juror\, Phil Hutient\, for Hill Center Galleries 2025 Regional Juried Exhibition in Capitol Hill\, Washington\, DC. Consequently\, it was chosen for the cover of Capitol Hill’s magazine\, Hill Rag\, March 2025 issue. I am flattered that my art is featured for the second time on the cover of Hill Rag magazine\, as one of my last year’s displays at the same gallery was featured on the cover of the March\, 2024 issue. \nExhibit Duration: January 13–May 3\, 2025 \nConcept:  \nWinter Refuge depicts an imaginary indoor garden with a lily pond\, a snowy day on the left window\, floral motifs and geometrical color blocks\, all abstracted. This is\, in fact\, a color field painting. I used my signature perspective cuts in this painting and segmented the artboard into several canvases\, each deserving and competing for attention. \n

SUMMARY:The Art League January 2025 Open Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Doubt from my Figurative series was selected by Eric March\, the independent juror of the month for the January 2025 Open Art Exhibit at The Art League\, Alexandria\, VA. \nDon’t miss this first exhibit of the year featuring the most recent works by many local artists in the DC area. The Art League Gallery is open daily from 10 AM to 6 PM and the opening reception is Friday\, January 10\, 6:30–8 PM. \nMy own studio is just a few steps from the Art League Gallery within the Torpedo Factory Art Center at Studio 5\, 105\, Union Street\, Alexandria\, VA. I will be there before this opening on Friday and throughout the weekend afternoons. \n  \nConcept:  \nInspired by classical masters\, I abstracted a female model\, adding an accurately painted hand that did not necessarily belong to her\, bent the perspective\, and interfered with realism further. I completed this during the 2024 New Year holidays (last year\, this time). At this time of gift exchange\, many have little to give or receive\, and many have doubts about who to give to and expect. I leave the interpretation to the viewer. With figurative morphs and a Venetian Scaramouche mask on the top left\, the narrative is left obscure. \nProcess and Media:  \nDoubt is both a multimedia and mixed-media painting. I digitally combined and altered images of my separate studies on paper and canvas using pastel and acrylic. I then professionally printed the digital collage on museum-grade archival canvas (stretched on heavy-duty double-wood bars) and hand-embellished it with acrylic and pastel. \n
