Patyl Astrid

From Old Masters to Contemporary Art, I have always been enthusiastic about the world of art and grew to be an avid painter myself.
My passion for photography began after graduating from Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London.
One day, I acquired a professional camera. I traveled the streets of my hometown, Beirut, snapping everything and anything that caught my eye or made a beautiful subject in space. Since then, capturing beautiful moments and images in time continues to thrill me.
I am inspired by the stillness and grandeur of Mother Nature, as well as the richness and drama of people and the circumstances of their lives.
In a fellow photographer’s words: “I am a photographer who is a writer and a writer who is a photographer.” 

I am the recipient of a Master's degree in Business Administration, complemented by the attainment of certificates in both Contemporary Art in London and History of Art 1500-1900 from Sotheby's Institute of Art in London - UK.
Additionally, I have successfully completed an enriching semester program dedicated to he intricate realm of Museum Curation, Arts and Galleries.
