Art heals!
After a childhood during Lebanon's civil war and a long career in international media with the BBC in London, I turned to painting as a way to focus not on turbulence, but on beauty and connection. I needed a constant reminder of all that is good and beautiful. Art provided that, and it became a lifeline. In the end, the decision to quit the all consuming day job in favour of a life of art was easy to make.
My paintings are an exploration of atmosphere, light, and presence, capturing fleeting moments in both urban and natural landscapes. I am particularly drawn to scenes that reflect only a glimpse of human presence, whether in a bustling city street or along a quiet horizon. And for me, that presence is often observed from a distance.
Each painting is an invitation to pause, to look more closely, and to rediscover the poetry of everyday life.
