Yunessi
Master
of the poetic juxtaposition of classic and contemporary
styles, Gholam Yunessi powerfully blends sensitive
tonality with vibrant color to create art that transcends
visual aesthetics. His creations stir subtle emotions
that take residence in our unconscious.
This
talent has been molded through years of dedication
to the masters of his native Tehran -- starting with
one of Persia's most famous sculptors, his uncle,
who nurtured, shaped and chiseled the foundation of
Yunessi's creativity. Yunessi continued his development
under the guidance of renowned Persian artist, Shaness,
and studied the history and techniques of the fine
art of painting at the Tehran College of Fine Art.
Yunessi
also frequently traveled to Europe to gain a personal
understanding of the masters and the styles that characterized
European art. As a result of this exposure he was
able to move beyond the familiar and create a truly
personal style that is born of passion, not custom.
Finally, with this rich balance of near-eastern and
European influences, he moved to America, where he
now lives and where he continues to create and produce
work that is recognized and exhibited around the world.
