The stories and the images from the Shahnama are his latest passion: it has been already twice that his works were a part of the British Shahnama shows, organised under the auspices of our Centre - at the Prince’s Foundation in London in 2010 curated by Zahra Hassan Agha and in Cambridge in 2013 curated by Veronica Shimanovskaya. In December 2013-January 2014 he had his first solo exhibition ‘The Flight if the Simurgh’ dedicated to the themes of the Shahnama at the Russian Fine Arts Academy, Tsreteli Centre in Moscow.
