Self-taught mixed media artist

About the Artist

Born in Shiraz, Iran and raised in the capital, Tehran, Hamid had his first experience with art at the age of twelve while watching his sister paint a portrait of their family. He fine tuned his skills around the age of twenty one and focused his attention on painting. Hamid learned how to capture the beauty of a scene by studying the works of his idol, Vincent van Gogh. The medium of his works is primarily oil on canvas, and his style of painting is a derivation of impressionism, in which he successfully creates accurate and artistically smooth renditions of scenes without generating photographic mimics.

Although painting serves as a cathartic mean in his life, Hamid has used his skills and talents to actively participate in a plethora of galleries, exhibitions and charity auctions, including those hosted by MADAD, Green Leaf and Saad Abad.
