At eleven years of age, Yordan began his professional education studying painting and ceramics at the Salesian Brothers School. While there he studied under Fritzner Mervil and Dieudonne Cedor. In 1975 Dabady received a certificate in painting which certifies his ability to paint using any medium.

Dabady’s first professional experience was working at the deVendegies workshop and he remained there for six years becoming the chief decorator. Then he had a misunderstanding with the owner, left the workshop and moved on to begin his career as a true artist.

The early works of Yordan were of the “gingerbread” style and these are the works that he presented to the more popular local galleries: Monnin, Marassa, Nader, Touche d’Arte and Galata.

Yordan is married and has three children.
