His loving father, mother, three sisters, and two brothers would always support him so, considering his passion for painting from such an early age, he entered a painting school. While studying there he attended the classes of various other masters as well and learned about the principles of design and simulation. During this period, which coincided with the exciting years of the beginning of the Iranian Revolution, Hessam was a jovial and energetic youth, and like most young people of that period, he was full of enthusiasm and idealism.\n\n\n\nHe participated in various social activities and wanted to use his art for the people but his fragile body and sensitive mind were very vulnerable to internal and external tensions to the point that he would sometimes get hospitalized.

I don't know if it is necessary to say this but anyway, I entered Germany on a tourist visa and after completing a six-month language course to participate in the Berlin academy entrance exam, I went to West Berlin.\u201d\n\n\n\nHessam spent some time learning German and painting portraits in Frankfurt to make a living.
