I have been honored with awards for academic and artistic excellence, ranking among the top 5% of my peers and earning the title of Top Student at Isfahan University of Art. My artwork has been showcased in international exhibitions, including the Sardine Illustration Festival in Portugal and the Olive Cartoon Contest in Cyprus, and has appeared in publications such as the Nasreddin Hodja Cartoon Contest book and Sanat ve Hayat magazine.

My expertise lies in digital tools like Photoshop and Procreate, allowing me to work across various mediums, including children’s book illustrations, educational projects, and satirical art. I am also passionate about using art to engage with cultural and social themes, as demonstrated by my involvement in projects like “Woman, Life, Freedom.”

With a strong foundation in creativity, time management, and problem-solving, I am dedicated to storytelling through art and exploring innovative ways to connect with audiences. Fluent in Persian and English, I thrive in collaborative environments and am always eager to grow and contribute to meaningful projects.

Born in Rasht, Iran, in 1938, Mohassess demonstrated artistic talent from an early age, reportedly drawing his first picture, an army general, at just 3 years old. He graduated with a degree in political science from Tehran University in 1962 and soon gained recognition for his political illustrations in Iranian newspapers. His work later appeared in prominent international publications, including The New York Times and The Nation.

In 1976, Mohassess traveled to the United States for what was intended to be a brief visit. However, following the 1979 Iranian Revolution, which replaced the Pahlavi monarchy with a theocratic regime under Ayatollah Khomeini, he chose to remain in the U.S., eventually settling in New York.
