About the Artist


Painter, Sculptor, Writer, & Poet, Kami Kotobi (an American/Iranian) was born in Tehran/Iran in 1965; and has been residing in the United States since he was 17.


Kami's philosophy about his art:  "WHETHER I PAINT, SCULPT, OR WRITE... MY ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE IS TO CREATE AN ALTERNATE REALITY THAT IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO OUR REALM AND YET DIFFERENT ENOUGH TO PROVOKE THOUGHT!!!"

Kami is the founder of the "Iranian Artist Consortium of Orange County" and a member of the LAGUNA ART GROUP; and his paintings have been exhibited at various Art Galleries in California as well as having been made available to art-lovers around the globe via LagunaArt.COM.

His writings and poetry are published in his blog and are now read in 85 countries.

Kami's latest book, titled "Breathless" was released in 2012.  Click here to purchase a copy.




Kami combines the different facets of his art-form to give them additional depth and dimension; and almost all of his paintings and sculptures have writings or poetry associated with them.




Kami's favorite quote:
"Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision!"    Salvador Dali
