Payman has a great sense of humor and a wonderful imagination. His work is often autobiographical, with thematic representations of his own experiences that celebrate his family, nature, and abstract self-expression. The joy of love and friendship radiates from Payman’s work, highlighting the beauty of relationships and caring gestures. Payman is comfortable across a range of media, but often executes his exuberant themes with a mixed media approach including oil pastel and watercolor. He loves to share his art with others, often asking for feedback and showing visitors around the studio to view his work. He hopes people see the meaningful messages and expression he works hard to convey in his art. When he’s not in the studio, Payman most enjoys spending time with his family and in nature.
