He soon transitioned to painting and has remained committed to this medium ever since. In 2019, he received the Biafrin Award at the NordArt Festival for his original vision. Since then, he has participated in numerous group exhibitions in Iran and internationally. In 2021, he held a solo exhibition titled \u003cem data-end=\"2506\" data-start=\"2491\"\u003eSting Therapy\u003c\/em\u003e at Shirin Gallery in Tehran.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2917\" data-start=\"2539\"\u003eHis dedication to oil painting is rooted in a deep respect for the craft and its legacy.
