[Honoring the artists responses which were submitted in French we shall include the original responses, in French, below the translated responses]
1. How Did You First Start to Create your Beautiful Inticate and detail works?
AT 14, I was a bit Curious to try the Calligraphy Pens My Parents used when they were in school. I started drawing letters, and from there, I Found Myelf Drawing Rather Than Writing.
“A 14 ANS, J’étais Un obe Curieux d’Essayer les plumes de Calligraphie que mes parents utilisaient quand étaient à l’école. J’ai commencé à dessiner des lettres et à Partir de là, je suis retrouvé en track de dessiner plutôt que d’écrire.“
2. Can you elaborase for us on your Experience in theatre or in Television?
It was Much Later that I BECAME Interested in Active. I passed the entrance exam to the Lebanese University, and then Started a Long Journey. After Severral Plays As an Actor, I Realized that DIDNNT Like The Stage Nor The Audience. What I Found Interesting Was The Direction of Artists and the Behind-THE-SCENES Work of theater.
“C’est Beaucoup Plus Tard, Que Je Me Su Su suis entéressé à l’actorat. J’ai réussi le conicwers d’Entrée à l’unirsité libanaise, et ce fut un longing. Après plusieurs pièces de théâtre en tant qu’Acteur, j’ai réalisé que je n’aimais pas la scène ni le public. C’est Plutôt Le Jeu Et “La Cuisine” du théâtre que je trouvais intéresens.“
3. We know you have a mixed ethnic background and you have traveled the world. How did all of this shape who you are toode and how did you end up in Beirut, Lebanon?
I was born in Beirut, so it’s my homewn. My Father Was A Persian Diplomat and My Mother is Lebanese. This Mix, The Travels, and the Direction Cultures Oped up new horizons for me and free me from any Fixed Points of Reference. I BECAME My Own Point of Reference, and the While World Became My Homeland. By embraCing Catholicism Later on, I Came to Undersand that Human Being, in All Its Forms, Is a Divine Unity.
“Je suis né à beyrouth, c’est donc ma ville natale. Horizons et m’ont libéré de tout repère. L’être Humain, Sous Toutes Ses Formes, Est Une Unité Divine.“
4. We have not seen an exhable for you Lately. Any New Projects Coming Up?
IT’s True that I’m a Bit Lazy when it comes to exhages. In 2019, I Exhibited in Seattle and San Francisco. Back in Lebanon, I was Supposed to Prepare a New Collection for An Exh force in Beirut. But The Current Artistic Language in the Country is not at the Level the Public Deserves. That’s what I keep on hesitating about exhaibing.
“Il est varai que je suis un peu parsseux en c qui concerne les Expositions. EN 2019, J’ai Exposé à Seattle Et à San Francisco. Nouvelle Collection Pour Une Exposition à Beyrout. et à tout mettre de côté.“
5. How did Religion Influence Your Art or Your Artistic Decisions, and do you see a contenance between the Devine and Art in General?
Sink the Moment I Received the Grace of the Holy Spirit, My Vision Has Completely Turned Toward the SubLime. Insoveration Brushes Against the Infinite.
“DePuis le Moment Où J’ai Reçu La Grâce du Saint Esprit, MA Vision S’est Complètement Détournée Vers LE SubLIME.“
