Hi. my name is FAROK. I am a Persian-Canadian painter and sculptor based in Toronto, Ontario. I hold a master of fine arts and I have had many solo and group exhibitions in Seattle, Paris, Toronto, Dubai, and Tehran. my artistic experiences focus on human and animal bodies.
For me, the human body is probably the most beautiful shape while it is very mysterious. This form is not only a simple solid shape but also flexible and changeable. Bodies do not exist as independent shapes, they are connected and interact with each other, places, and situations. The human body also is not separated from the environment. They affect each other and the body is created to match its place.
