Nima is a watercolour painter and architectural designer based in Düsseldorf, Germany. He began his architectural career in 2005 in his hometown of Tabriz, where he co-founded his own design studio with his best friend.


Over the following two decades, Nima's work as a designer and project manager took him from the Dubai Metro project to family homes in Manchester, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in England, and London Gatwick Airport. But after nearly twenty years in architecture, he discovered his true passion: drawing and painting. Today, he works full-time as an artist, sharing his love of watercolour through courses, workshops, and live demonstrations across Germany and abroad.


His recent collaborations include a live painting session with Schmincke at the Prague Plein Air Festival, a painting demonstration with Fabriano and Magnani at the Creative World exhibition in Frankfurt, and a workshop collaboration with Lamy.


Nima's ink drawings and watercolour paintings now belong to private collections across Germany, England, Switzerland, Denmark, Canada, and the US. His mission is to help people bring art into their everyday lives, sketching and painting outdoors so they can feel more present, curious, and connected to nature.
