Hooman Khoshnood began his artistic career five years ago, after practicing law for over a decade.
He began painting at an early age. But his approach to art-making became more conceptual while studying with Laura LLaneli, a sound art artist, Marc Larre, a photographer, and Ana Parahissa, an art theoretician.
Mr. Khoshnood was also mentored by Giancarlo Bargoni, a renown Italian painter in painting and theory. They also explored possible connections between painting and poetry.
Mr. Khoshnood continued his studies in art at the Art Students League of New York where his painting “Unknown to me” was published as exemplary student work in the league’s 2018/19 catalog.
Mr. Khoshnood obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and a Doctorate in Law both from the University of Georgia. He is also an avid reader focusing on linguistics, art history and critical theory.
He was born in Iran and has lived in Iran, Italy, Canada, France, Spain, and the United States. He is fluent in English, Farsi, and Italian. He considers Atlanta home.
He is showing his paintings at Thomas Deans Fine Arts Gallery in Atlanta and has exhibited in various exhibitions in Atlanta, New York City and Barcelona.
