At age 15, through the inspiration and encouragement of a high school teacher, Hessam discovered both his love of art and his own talent of painting.  As a result he became almost obsessed with painting. Hessam, at age 17, received his first award for painting and went on to win top honors in painting  in an all-country student competition in  Iran.  At age 19, he achieved first place honors in the "Iranian New Artists Competition." Many other national and international honors and recognitions have followed since. </div> <bR> <div> He 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 Accademia di Belle Arti "Pietro Vanucci." </div> <bR> <div> Hessam then emigrated to Los Angeles, California where he continues to expand upon his creativity.  He explores a realm which the French press has called "A statement in the fluidity of human figures… He created a tension between each figure, a kinship of place or condition that  provokes the viewer to seek reasons for such relationships."  Greatly influenced by modern masters from Cezanne to Picasso, Hessam's boldly colorful paintings are filled with love, laughter, music and dance.  Hessam Abrishami has  provided the world with images that capture the essence of love and romance.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="id3.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Newport Art Gallery">Art Gallery </A>   <A HREF="id2.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="About Us">About Us</A>   <A HREF="id5.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact Us">Contact Us</A>   <A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="SHELDON FINE ART">Home</A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id10.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Originals">Originals</A>    <A HREF="id8.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Prints">Prints </A>   <A HREF="id9.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Sculpture">Sculpture</A>   <A HREF="id173.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Naples Showcased Artist">Naples Showcased Artist</A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> Sheldon Fine Art, 59 America's Cup Avenue, Newport R.I. 02840</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
