Naser Shahrivar

His parents did not support his desire, thus forcing him to paint and write in secrecy. As a young adolescent he used raw materials and dyes to mix his paint. He loved following his uncle into tea houses to sit and listen to the stories. As a youth Naser won first place with his painting in the local Tehran competition and later advanced to the country competition. His high school play was featured on local television.
