For years Hessam Abrishami’s dynamic compositions, powerful expressions, and vibrant colors have captured viewers around the world with their amazing depth and unique intrigue. Hessam’s primary subject matter is whimsical figures that are bright and bold, symbolizing the celebration of life, romance, and emotion.
Born in Shiraz, Iran in 1951, Hessam left his home country to expand his knowledge and pursue life as an artist. He studied in Italy for a number of years before finally settling in California. Hessam’s artwork has been featured in over 100 one-man gallery shows, 25 international exhibitions, and multiple museums.
Over 50 originals and limited editions will be presented and available for purchase in the ART on 5th exhibition.
