About Me
- Saeed Hojjati
- Born in 1963 in a south eastern town in Iran, Saeed Hojjati is the oldest of five children. His adventurous and passionate spirit brought him to Canada to build a better life. As an immigrant to Canada, Saeed worked hard and used his entrepreneurial skills that he had developed in Iran to build a life here. Saeed began to sketch in his free time and his fiancée at the time (now his wife) saw his amazing talent. Sandra encouraged him to play with color and Saeed through painting with oil discovered his gift in art. He credits God for his ability and for giving him inspiration to produce such high quality creations.Because his subject matter derives from capturing experiences and memories, they are exceedingly popular among those in search of that type of nostalgia. His work can be found displayed in galleries across North America, retail environments, festivals, and private and public shows. His art is collected from those across North America to the United Kingdom.One of Saeed’s greatest accomplishments was when the city of Edmonton in 2009 selected his original work and purchased it to be given to dignitaries from around the world.
