A collaboration was born

Hooman JD is an artist that devoted himself to drawing, painting, collage, illustration, pattern design, digital design, fabric manipulation and textile design. Born in 1990 in the city of Shiraz, the capital of culture and arts in Iran, he began to study visual arts and music in 2004, before moving to Belgium in 2015. He took part in Center Cultural Omar Khayam (CCOK) with his paintings in the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Brussels as well as in the “Next generation please festival” project in Bozar. He has presented work at the WIELS Art Book Fair 2017 in Brussels, Belgium. He is a member of Cinemaximiliaan and Open Design Course 2018.

Hooman and I met during the Open Design Course in 2019, and felt that a lot can be accomplished if we combine our skill sets; thus, the idea of featuring in his project sounded like an absolute starter to kick off a great collaboration.
