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.” He goes on to express that the artwork does not belong solely to the artist, but in fact, it belongs to the people.

ABOUTHISWORK “I didn’t set out to use bright colors, they just came out. This is important. I don’t give any direction to my paintings. Any colors I use just come from my feelings. I don’t think about bright colors or dark colors or lines or anything. Whatever comes, that’s good enough for me.” “I love the human figure. For me a woman’s body has more flexibility, more movement, and I can work with that. To me they have more energy. I can relax more. I work better with a woman’s figure than a man’s.” Vibrant colors, dynamic composition and powerful expression go hand in hand with imagination and expert craftsmanship to create works of
amazing depth and dimension which
are at once both intriguing and disarming to the viewer.
