Kamran Khavarani (born 1941 in Tehran, Iran) is a painter and architect currently residing in Los Angeles, California. He has been credited by UCLA’s art history Professor Albert Boime (1933-2008) – perhaps the foremost social art historian of our time – as the creator of a new artistic movement called Abstract Romanticism. During the last days of his life, in an interview for UCLA Today, Boime expressed that Khavarani is a “one-person movement” representing the new style of Abstract Romanticism.”
