Biography 

 


A very breif Biography:

 

A graduate from UC Berkeley in Persian Studies & Fine Arts 

Attenbed SF Art Institute (MFA).

 

The following piece of poetry echos undercurrent motives of a series of my paintings.  This poetry is translated from Persian into English: 

 

The Cypress of Keshmar

 The abundance of bare shadows

you are

with vigorous branches

with hedgerows of wounds

then yet again

don’t sing so clamorously

in the silence of the arid land

in the gateways

of the town yonder

if it does not come back

let your fervent love

go with the flight of the wind

 ---

Conspicuous,

I am not

a passerby in the desert sand,

I am

here

in the horizon of a glimpse

of yours

I haven’t lost you

in the shadows of yours,

in your enduring forbearance

I am

all the same

desolate

---

For the nonce

all have not come to an end

lest by the wind that blows

to kiss

the myriad glimpses of yours

the everlasting

dangling memories

on your departed foliage

will not return

from yonder

---

For the nonce

all have not come to an end

lest by the wind that blows

to kiss

the myriad glimpses of yours

the everlasting

dangling memories

on your departed foliage

will not return

from yonder

---

Then,

just how

I did not grasp

the exodus of the one

In a brackish heart

your lingering after a vividness

shatters my memory, my skin

your being a silhouette

going amiss

forgets my eyes

---

Hey, the everlasting

branches that

allude the sky and  the horizon

yet again

over yonder

with a still torrid hedgerow

turn one's gaze

to the intimate splintering

---

Then

do not forfend me all over again

a transient vagrant,

I am

in the path of the traversed ones

in the splinter of the shadows

of other silhouettes

then

the ever green ochre tree,

where are you?

after centuries of desolation,

those engraved hewn

descants

still

don’t let me be

--- 

With all that flutter

with that fragmented grace

you silently descant

the gates of oblivion

with dangling memories

on a desert  path

in the distant ruins

on the road

shadows,  tiny and tall

endlessly

traverse  your path
