Eisa Ahmadi was born in the Cheshmeh-Ala neighborhood of Damavand in 1940. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Tehran. He was very interested in art, especially painting since childhood, hence, he experienced painting and designing in this period and was very encouraged and applauded in this regard.

In the beginning of adulthood, not only his economic activities in decoration did not hinder his activities in painting and sculpting, but also, it created new experiences and familiarity with new techniques in line with his goals.

He moved to Damavand County and Roodehen city in 1976 in order to promote art in his hometown. He established this county’s first art gallery called “Khane-ye-Honar”, and started teaching and promoting art.

After a few years, when the Islamic Azad University Roodehen Branch was opened, he was invited to collaborate in decorating and building the gates of the university’s main building. After finishing this task, he continued his collaboration by working in the university’s public relations and the Islamic development offices.

After the department of culture and Islamic guidance was opened in Damavand County, at first, he started teaching art to only one student, and then became the head of the county’s visual arts association. In this period, he started collaborating with the beautification unit of Damavand county Municipality and was appointed as artistic consultant to the mayor.

In 2002, as Shab-e-Damavand convention in Khanevadeh Cultural Center began, he held an exhibit with the same name in the gallery of the cultural center presenting paintings which were designed and painted specifically related to the convention so as to introduce the people’s culture and Damavand County products; Moreover, it was an important step in introducing the culture of Damavand County given the great amount of time and energy spent on preparing the paintings.

Through the years, he has held many exhibits all over the country which were welcomed and applauded by experts and art-lovers. He has taken this arduous path for more than half a century in order to serve his beloved country, and although he has never had a teacher, he has raised and trained many art students who are currently serving as teachers throughout the country.
