I’m an Afghan-American artist based in Northern Virginia/Washington D.C. My work explores the emotional architecture of attachment, where faith, feeling, and psychology intersect. Through expressive portraiture and fragmented composition, I study how the body remembers what the mind can’t always explain. My process is both intuitive and analytical, shaped by a curiosity about the space between what we feel and what we’re conditioned to believe. I see painting as a spiritual and psychological practice, a way to observe, release, and rediscover meaning through color, form, and restraint.
