About Cartoonist:
I believe cartoons are an international language that can express beliefs and emotions, creating a language without borders or nationalities. My enthusiasm for cartooning has its origins in my childhood. I started cartooning when I was 7 years old. The most important thing that happened in my life and caused me to have powerful eagerness to continue this way as a cartoonist was meeting with the great Iranian cartoonist Kambiz Derambakhsh.
In 2006 I held my first individual cartoon exhibition in the Iranian House of Cartoons in Tehran. I have also participated in many international cartoon exhibitions and my work has been published in many cartoon books and catalogs.
