After almost 25 years of photography experience in Iran and Canada, Arian has decided to expose his own uniquely-styled photography in Canada and Europe. He had an exhibition in Montreal in July 2011, Toronto in September 2011,  and in Belgium in October 2011,  with later ones in other European  countries.

Lonely women talking  to the darkness, lonely women looking for peace, lonely women tortured by religion and specifically Islam, are themes Arian has been attached to. These subjects are the main matter of his artworks,  along with his nude art photographs, Arian is one of the few Iranian photographers who is focusing in art nude photography these days.
