Eventually, I established my own gallery, focusing on exceptional artists. Driven by a desire to understand artists and their creative processes, I delved into the stories and emotions woven into each painting. Beginning with local artists and their narratives, I expanded my exploration regionally. This passion led me to Sudan, where I met the extraordinary artist Rashid Diab, organizing his first exhibition in Lebanon. Diab’s exhibition marked a breakthrough in Beirut’s art scene, eliciting a distinctive reaction from everyone in attendance.
Demonstrating resilience, my journey continued to Palestine, where I encountered the prominent artist Khaled Hourani. His exhibition served as a powerful outcry against aggression, featuring the famous watermelon prints that traversed from Ramallah to Beirut—a clear statement of resistance and resilience in the face of occupation adversity.
about me
I had the privilege of encountering one of the great masters of Lebanese art, Hussein Madi, whose captivating world drew me in like a storm. Immersed in his artistry, I remember him once saying, “I love colors so much I wish I could eat them.” Each morning, I eagerly anticipated our conversations over coffee, observing him at work, bringing his vibrant creations to life.
Under Madi’s mentorship, I was introduced to the world of fine art. He saw a passion within me that I hadn’t fully recognized, encouraging me to venture into the realm of art dealing, asserting, “You were born to be an art dealer.” Recognizing my enthusiasm for art, he became the catalyst for my journey.
A passionate art lover.
My artistic odyssey has taken me through the diverse world of art, from one artist to another, savoring every aspect of this enriching experience. Fueled by fate and guided by passion, I believe there are still many exciting chapters yet to unfold.
