I’m Ashkan, an Iranian illustrator currently studying MFA in Animation Direction at Bauhaus University, Germany. 

I aim to capture moments where everything in the frame forms a unified whole. The characters in my work are deeply connected to both the atmosphere and their experience of existence in that very instant. While drawing these frames, I think of how each moment is frozen in time—an eternal snapshot of meaning. This thought guides my careful selection of composition and space, ensuring that every element contributes to the greater unity of the scene.

Through color, composition, and character gestures, I seek to create a dreamlike atmosphere that evokes purity and joy. My goal is to immerse the audience in timeless moments and allow them to experience the stillness and beauty of the frame.

Illustration and animation serve as portals to an unknown world for me, a way to dream out loud. As I continue on this journey, I am passionate about capturing my observations and bringing them to life through my chosen mediums. could make it shorter without loosing the essence
