I’m best known for my gemstone sculptures, where I use precision tools to breathe life into stone. Using a fine, rotating disc with diamond tips, I meticulously carve intricate details of animals and natural forms. This artistic practice extends to paintings that explore similar themes.
Colorful compositions characterize my art, combining various materials. The choice of gemstones and precious metals connects me to my family’s heritage in the Afghan gemstone trade, infusing my work with personal history. Recurring motifs include majestic stallions and soaring falcons I admired since childhood, as well as abstract interpretations of nature. My German upbringing influences my work through precision and attention to detail.
I explore themes of resilience, identity, and cultural preservation, aiming to create a dialogue between different cultures. My work invites viewers to contemplate the beauty of the natural world and the complexities of cultural heritage. Through these creations, I seek to capture fleeting moments and complex ideas in lasting forms that reflect both my Afghan roots and global perspective.
