I translate the memory of ancient earth into permanent emotional form.

✨ ABOUT ME

A relationship with stone, before it was a businessI was born in Tehran in 1988, into a family connected to the natural stone industry. My father discovered my interest in art when I was five. By eight, working with offcuts on a factory floor, I arranged marble fragments into a mandala, no one asked me to. I didn't think about what I was doing. The pieces simply told me where they belonged.That instinct stayed with me. I later studied mining engineering, from 2007 to 2011, not to leave art behind, but to go deeper into it. To understand stone as an engineer is to understand its memory at a structural level: how it was formed, what pressure it survived, what it carries in its veins. The art and the science were never separate.In 2013, I founded my own company. Over the next decade, more than 250 projects, hotels, villas, facades, and ... across the Middle East and Europe.In 2022, I relocated to Vancouver, expanding the practice into North America. In 2024, I launched Sacred Walls, a body of sculptural, one-of-a-kind stone pieces for private commissions. And in 2026, that path led to Echoes in Stone: Black & Gold. Ten collaborative works in black marble and golden travertine, created with First Nations artists John Velten, Chris Sparrow, Trevor Angus, and Kolten Grant.

Echoes in Stone: Black & Gold

Ten works in black marble and golden travertine, created with First Nations artists John Velten, Chris Sparrow, Trevor Angus, and Kolten Grant. Each piece began with a relationship, not a brief.
The artists led, the material followed.
Vancouver, BC · 2026

World Heart Hotel Lobby

5,500 stone pieces, zero site cuts. Every element pre-fabricated and installed with surgical precision — rare stone inlay at institutional scale, where tolerance for error is measured in millimeters, not the usual construction-site margin.
Middle East · 2025

Dar Al Asema Classical Limestone Facade

Six floors of columns, arches, and hand-carved ornamental detail at full building scale. A classical facade executed the way historic stonework was, not applied to a building, but structural to how it reads.
Baghdad, Iraq · 2024

Sacred Walls & Private Collections

Sculptural stone pieces, sacred walls, and collaborative works, created in series, held in private collections, and never repeated.Stone becomes stillness.

Moroccan Style Limestone Facade

5,500 stone pieces, zero site cuts. Every element pre-fabricated and installed with surgical precision — rare stone inlay at institutional scale, where tolerance for error is measured in millimeters, not the usual construction-site margin.
UAE, Dubai · 2018

Fountains, Water Features & Public-Scale Work

Large-scale sculptural stonework built for public and civic environments. Fountains, water features, and installations designed to hold up at a scale where structural engineering and artistic form carry equal weight. Each piece is engineered off-site, tested for water flow and load, and installed to perform for decades, not seasons.

PRECISION, STRUCTURE & PROFESSIONAL CUTS

Behind each artwork there is an engineered system: coded, numbered pieces, calibrated cuts, and tight installation tolerances.
The final form looks effortless because the structure behind it is exact.

HAND-FINISHED, ONE PIECE AT A TIME

Machines help me shape the stone, but the feeling comes from the last 10%.
Edges, shadows, transitions — every surface is refined by hand until it feels alive under the fingertips.
