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.
