The Artist:
Kamran Tahamtanzadeh

Kamran Tahamtanzadeh born on 1963 in Tehran-Iran, becoming an American citizen nearly three decades ago. A visionary who is educated at the University of California at Berkeley, Kamran has been the founder and CEO of multiple transformative cancer Biotech companies in the Bay-Area a place he has made his home since 1987. Kamran continues to play competitive soccer, coaching young startups and mentoring individuals within the community who are struggling to find their passion in life. Kamran is a relentless advocate of using Epigenetics testing as a platform technology to advance the field of cancer precision medicine. Kamran gets his artistic inspiration from seeing an innate beauty and positive energy in people.

As a young man Kamran lost a childhood friend to Leukemia and that experience led him to become a bone marrow donor (2000 & 2007) to help save a young girl's life suffering from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Kamran's creativity and love of life has sprawled into compilations and collections of his contemporary poems written in many different languages including English, Spanish, Turkish and Persian.

Kamran draws his passion for painting from his loving family, true friends around the globe and the everlasting healing power of the colors themselves and their attraction for one another and the power of the light stemming from the divine harmony so blessedly woven into the verses of poetry of two of his beloved poets: Rumi & Hafiz.
