Works on paper of the ancient practice of Tazhib, using gold to illuminate images

Born in Afghanistan and newly arrived in the United States, I specialize in works on paper using the ancient practice of Tazhib in which gold is used to illuminate the images of Shamsa ("little sun" in Arabic) which may take the form of many shapes from circles to stars and is often used to symbolize the transcendent, indivisible and infinite nature of god. I had my own business in Afghanistan called Asman Arts and my work has been presented both locally and internationally. My work has been displayed in various exhibitions in Afghanistan, the United States and Saudi Arabia. My work has been facilitated by Turquoise Mountain which is affiliated with the United Kingdom and the United States.
