Dealing with local racism, and being treated as a gypsy, Ehsan longed for community and wondered how he could contribute.And the answer was clear, the world would only experience peace through Unity. Ehsan’s burning desire was to create something truly groundbreaking that would have international impact and stop the fighting for good. After his family emigrated to the United States, Ehsan continued to paint, and his voice developed under the local master in California, coming alive in vibrant textures and mesmerizing bold colors.

Following frustration in a post 9/11 world, where talking wasn’t furthering the global mission for peace, Ehsan began his prolific visions collection, and in 2003 the Vision of Unity and Peace was born. In its completion will be 2,000 paintings spanning a 1/2-acre. Equivalent to a 17 story building.Ehsan has participated in and held exhibits at museums, galleries, community events and activities throughout California.Today, Ehsan deeply believes humanity can bloom and peace is possible. He continues his journey of painting and sharing his Vision of Unity and Peace, locally, nationally and worldwide.
