About me
Abbas Kadkhodayan, Ph.D.
My story
My love of art dates to childhood, when I was obsessively sketching American cars in the early 50’s. I was born in the mid-40s. In primary school, my mother encouraged me to improve my sketching skills, something that I liked to do besides my regular homework. Both my mother and my grandmother had an enormous impact on my young mind.
I was trained as an engineer in the early 70’s in England and later migrated to the United States where I continued my education, starting a long career as a scientist and researcher in industry. Even though I became a scientist to make a living, I never left the art world and kept painting in my leisure time to relax. Initially, I sketched faces, inspired and influenced by world-famous portrait artists, trying to imitate them. Over the years, I tried various media such as ink, color pencil, oil, and acrylics.
Recently, after wrapping up my long career as a senior advisor, I returned to the art world. After many years of casually painting portraits, landscapes, and still life, I have developed a new style of abstraction where everything is flamboyantly colorful, comprised of psychedelic bursts of spiraling loops, glowing orbs, and twists and turns. I now paint exclusively in acrylics where I mix colors to bring out the best of contrast and yet in the most delicate and harmonious fashion to reflect excitement and fetch a message of peace, happiness, delight, and hope.
