Gabbay was born in Tehran, Iran. He had an interest in art from a young age and was inspired by graphic designer Victor Vasarely. At the age of 17, he enrolled in an art studio to learn oil painting on canvas. He moved to the United States in 1978 to attend university. During his college years, he took classes in geometric design, acrylic painting, and sculpture. He created abstract, landscape, and geometric designs. Later he refined his style into a combination of surrealism and mysticism with a Judaic point of view. He also got inspiration from American artists of the 1800s who attended ‘The Hudson School of Art’, including Thomas Cole, Fredrick Church, Robert S. Dickinson, and Albert Bierstadt. He reproduced their work to learn their style and later put his own twists on the works. Within the last fifteen years, he has gotten his inspiration from the works of Schim Schimmel, an environmentalist and conservationist.view less
