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. He has exhibited
the ability to fascinate and disarm an audience with his artistic works. Hessam’s amazing imageries
have been lifted off the canvas and portrayed in a three dimensional form through his stunning
sculptures. This expansion has added a new dimension to Hessam’s growing artistic repertoire.
By the age of fifteen Hessam’s love and obsession with art became evident while still in high
school. His art teacher, who encouraged Hessam to pursue a higher education, nurtured his natural
talents and endless inspiration for painting. In 1975, Hessam moved to Perugia, Italy, to complete
his Master of Fine Art Degree at the Accademia Di Belle Arti, “Pietro Vanucci”. The bright colors
of Italy and the contrast of a quiet and relaxed artistic atmosphere greatly influenced Hessam and
his works.
Hessam’s works are greatly influenced by his dramatic life experiences and the warm acceptance he
has received from the world at large. He has exhibited his art in Europe, Asia, and North America,
where his one-man shows have grown in popularity in the public eye. His talented works have also
been colorfully illustrated in various Ivy League University textbooks nationwide. The French
press has called Hessam’s artwork "A statement in the fluidity of human figures…with tension between
each figure, a kinship that provokes the viewer to seek reasons for such a relationship.”
Hessam has provided the world with images that capture an essence of love and romance. Hessam now
reveals a more three dimensional representation of his paintings in his life like bronze sculptures.
