Siamak creates works of art that do not merely copy nature, although he is capable of doing so. Rather, Siamak changes the composition of nature, altering it so that the viewer recognizes something familiar, and yet is mesmerized by something exciting and new.Having the impeccable credentials of classical training in Italy’s most prestigious art academies - along with the experience of working with various master artists early in his career - Siamak has cultivated his natural gifts through a life of discipline and devotion to painting. Siamak has been inspired and influenced by such masters as Matisse, Mondrian, Magritte, and most especially, Picasso. This being said, Siamak brings his own unmistakable style to the world of fine art. Siamak uses traditional, impressionistic techniques and then incorporates abstraction of perspective, form, and color as part of his unique and daring composition. He is known for his use of the palette knife technique, a demanding method that requires a deliberate touch with no room to correct and repaint. Siamak has owned and operated a successful gallery in La Jolla for over twenty years. In 2006, he opened a contemporary gallery in San Diego’s historic Gaslamp Quarter. At the top of his artistic form, he continues to create works that communicate his passion, energy, and love for mankind. Seasoned connoisseurs and new collectors alike - who recognize the best in quality, expression, and technique - have enthusiastically acquired the work of Siamak.
