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.”
Early life
Born into an artistic family, Khavarani started painting at a very young age. When he was twelve years old, he began to study classical painting.
Khavarani completed his education in 1966 from Tehran University with a master's degree in Architecture and a Ph.D. in Urban Design.
Influences
Khavarani’s earlier paintings were influenced by his classical and formal training in arts and architecture.
Technique
Khavarani paints with his hands encased in plastic gloves and by working flatly in oil on paper. He uses his whole hand.
