| Why Did You Become An Artist |
One day to pass the time I began to sketch. I didn't realize that I had the natural ability to draw. The more I sketched, the more I loved it. I thought it would be interesting to bring my sketches to life by adding color. So I began to paint with oil on canvas. I watched my sketches come alive and dance on the canvas. I couldn't believe my eyes. I became very passionate about my art and wanted to paint all the time. Then I took a short eight week oil painting course and realized that I had discovered a way to express myself through my work. I then sought out one of the best teachers in North America and registered at Sutton Art. I completed the first course and was then advanced to be amongst professional painters. I love what I do and want others to find beauty, meaning and inspiration through my art. |

| Your Personal Biography |
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.
Saeed is a self taught artist and along the way sought opportunity to learn from some great artists. Saeed is very grateful to Barbara Schaefer who has taught him and mentors him through her honest feedback. It is through this feedback that Saeed’s paintings have grown to what they are today. His love for life, for the beauty of God’s creation leads him to paint with vivid color, depth and spiritual passion. His paintings reflect the great beauty and diversity of our world. Through oil and acrylic Saeed captures the awe in simplicity. His method of using brush and palette knife to create diversity in texture is his paintings are widely admired. All of Saeed’s work is inviting. The demand for his work grows with each passing day and because of Saeed’s passion and determination he easily meets the demands.
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, 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 selected his original work and purchased it to be given to dignitaries from around the world. He feels blessed to be able to share a part of himself with others. You will also see his pieces in St. Albert’s Art Beat Gallery and Liliana’s Fine Art Gallery. Saeed is proud to be a part of the Edmonton community and he has given several of his original pieces for charities. Saeed is a member of Society of Western Canadian Artists (SWCA) and his art has been recognized and awarded for his work in detail and perspective. Saeed is also a member of the Night of Artists in Edmonton, AB.
He is a devoted husband and dedicated father. In Saeed’s free time, you will find him volunteering at the food bank, serving faithfully at his church and playing piano and drums. He also enjoys reading art books, taking art courses, and travelling with his wife and family.
