I would like to thank God that has given me the ability and opportunity to be able to show and save part of my motherland’s art which is deposit from our ancestors to our future generation.

The whole of my aim is to restore my country’s traditional art but present it in a new modern way.

I would like to thank and appreciate my son Hamid Reza’s encouragements which made me more successful in this field.

My God bless him.
