Hessam Abrishami

Hessam Abrishami was born in Shiraz, Iran, in 1951. Seeking a society free from the limitations of modern-day Iran, Hessam left his home country to expand his knowledge and awareness of the outside, changing world. His quest to excel as an artist took him to Italy, one of the historically great epicenters of the art world. He began his higher education in Pietro Vanucci, at the Accademia di Belle Arti.

In his tenure as an established artist, Hessam has published six retrospective books and has had his images on the covers and chapter headings of nine sociology and psychology university textbooks. Hessam currently has countless private collectors worldwide and has exhibited in over 150 one-man gallery shows, over 30 international exhibitions, and multiple museum exhibitions. In 2006, during an exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Sciences of Ormond Beach, Florida, Hessam was presented with the "Key to the City" and a proclamation from the Mayor stating March 24, 2006, as officially "Hessam Abrishami Day."

Hessam's art has become much more than a grand collection of paintings, drawings, and sculptures. It has become a legacy. His art's inspiration, passion, and beauty are just a few reasons his work is so widely collected.
