Who We Are:
We are two Iranian designers, painters, and art entrepreneurs, who intend to develop, and adapt ourselves with global art using noble Iranian motifs and elements. We would like to put an end to borders using different media and concepts, and eclectic designs. We would also like to send the message of kindness and friendship to the world taking benefit of art and re-reading elements in the nature.
What We Do:
We intend to enter the most private parts of people’s lives using decorative elements. This is part of our practical art activities, focusing on fashion and garments. We believe in the relaxation power of nature, and make attempts to transfer the same cleanliness and smile to individuals.
The outlines of our sabbatical leaves are as follows:
• As for painting, we will point out a type of innovation in color and form using media such as oil painting, acrylic, and digital painting, and a prime focus on horse and carpet.
• As for practical art section, we will implement our inspirations and luxurious designs on garments using ideas from carpet designs.
