Art conveys a unique view of the world as seen through the eyes of the artist.  Seeking a society free from the limitations of modern day Iran, Hessam left his home country and traveled to Italy, where he finished his art education in Pietro Vanucci, at the Accademia di Belle Arti. Hessam currently has over 20,000 private collectors world-wide and has exhibited in over 100 One-Man Gallery Shows, over 25 International Exhibitions, and multiple Museums. Hessam was recently honored to receive an Honorary Doctorate to commemorate his achievements as a fine art painter.  Hessam believes strongly in the goodness of people and this world, which is reflected in not only his art, but in his personal values.  When asked if it is difficult to see a favorite painting leave in the arms of a collector, possibly never to be seen again, Hessam has said, “No, I have enjoyed making it and now I want it to bring happiness to someone else.”
