    In his work, he paints and depicts people in everyday events and fantasies, drawing from memories or experiences and creating larger narratives and stories through these memories. There are also hints of his heritage, influenced by his bi-racial background being Persian and Black. In his practice, he enjoys painting the figure with value and depth and employing cartoon-like character design and settings. Overall, his works explore memories and story-telling to create and be a part of a larger sphere of ideas.
