Ahmadi's pieces are frequently simple, curved forms, usually with woods and dental plaster. Most often, the intention is to engage the viewer, producing simple solid and void and simple beauty, evoking mystery through their inviting surfaces. His early pieces rely on metals engraved to cover the works. This practice was inspired by his family’s craftsmanship with wood. His later works are represents visible-invisible, conscious-unconscious, male-female and body-mind
