Sami Akl

Sami started discovering himself as an artist by free drawing, then he explored oil on canvas, sculptures and even furniture design, strengthening his architectural vein, which consolidated his first profession.

The sequence of this constant research went through watercolor and acrylic, merging perfectly in the mixture that made him famous around the world: The collage found the painting and mixed at magnifications on paper on canvas, with the particular feature of his work.
