Born in the city of Shiraz, Iran in 1951, Hessam Abrishami was the son of middle-class parents; one of eight brothers and sisters. He attended public schools in his home city of Shiraz until his graduation from high school, after which he served in his country’s military service for two years.
It was not until he was 15 years of age that, through the inspiration and encouragement of a high school teacher who was himself an artist, Hessam discovered both his love of art and his talent for painting. He soon became obsessed with painting.
While Hessam devoted his major effort to painting, he also seriously studied related types of art, including calligraphy and architecture-both of which he credits with making major contributions to the development of his work.
Hessam went on to study in Italy--a place he considered "the center of art in Europe." It was in Perugia, Italy that he studied and completed his Master's Degree in Fine Arts at the Accademi De Belle Arti "Pietro Vanucci." Hessam notes that he was influenced most in Italy by the artistic atmosphere in general, and more specifically because "colors were bright and the atmosphere was quiet and relaxed." He emigrated to Los Angeles, California where he continues to expand his creativity.
Greatly influenced by modern masters from Cezanne to Picasso, Hessam's boldly colorful paintings are filled with love and laughter, music and dance.Vibrant colors, dynamic composition and powerful expression go hand in hand with imagination and expert craftsmanship to create works of amazing depth and dimension which are at once both intriguing and disarming to the viewer.
It is no wonder that his works have been described as ‘taking the onlooker to a realm of suggestion and mystical beauty...where everything is alive with a sense of everlasting fluid motion.’ In doing so, ‘Hessam is expanding his horizons and stimulating the mind as well as charming the eyes of the beholder.’
