George J. E. Sakkal, discoverer and father of CUVISM, has a master’s degree in city planning from Harvard University’s School of Design and has done postgraduate work in policy studies at the University of Maryland. He served as a Peace Corps volunteer architect in Iran, where he helped design and develop a low-cost housing development and received an official commendation from Iran’s Ministry of the Interior.
In addition to his long professional career serving the state of Maryland in various government agencies, Sakkal is a noted collage artist. The Washington Post, The Baltimore Sun, The Baltimore City Paper, and The Jewish Times have reviewed his one-man exhibits, and several French galleries and competitions have shown his work.
Sakkal lectures on collage creativity and history, as well as CUVISM, his groundbreaking original art theory based on extensive neuroscientific research.
