Hassan Jouni is a Lebanese artist who was born in Zakak Al Blat, Beirut, in 1942. Sketches dating back to the late 1940s reveal the significant artistic talent that Jouni displayed even as a young boy. The tools he turned to were coloured crayons, a gift from a relative, which not only enabled him to hone his talent, but also provided the foundations for Jouni to establish a bold, vibrant palette that would become a hallmark of his work.
