Dream house Photograph

1970, Beirut
A Lebanese painter graduated from the Fine Art Academy of Venice. Residing in Lebanon.

I practice primarily as a painter but also produce photographic, site specific and installation work. In the end, I use whatever means I can to express myself and the social, political, religious and cultural conflict which have formed the larger part of my life experience.

Having lived through 15 years of civil war and witnessing Lebanon yet again on the brink, my work cannot help but express what I see as regressive divisions not just in my country but everywhere; and the constant diminishing, deteriorating value of human life, its loss in conflict reduced to numbers who are these people?
