“I explore the space between the recognizable and unfamiliar, serving as a medium to unveil the unknown or forgotten. Success in my art lies in viewers finding their unique stories within, forging a profound connection to self and the universe. Color, prioritized over shape and form, is paramount, shaping space and dimension and evoking deep emotions.”
Living in the Washington, D.C. area since 1992, Abol Bahadori was born in Tabriz, the capital city of Iranian Azerbaijan and the historical cradle of motifs and miniatures, his childhood inspirations. He started painting at a very early age and won the “Best Young Artist” prize presented by the local schools at age nine. He studied art in his hometown and later in Manchester, U.K. His childhood colors and memories still show up in his paintings and always as elements of surprise to his own eyes. Abol obtained his bachelor’s in fine arts and master’s in Textile Design from the University of Manchester, U.K. He is a full-time artist and creative consultant recognized with many local and international awards for his innovative work.
