BEIRUT WILL BECOME SHORT OF SKY-VIEW SOON
These photos taken from my dining room where I sit often shows what DAMAGE the frenzy of construction is doing to Lebanon the and especially in Ashrafieh
I live in what was one of the most beautiful and quiet streets of Beirut, Sursock Street.
This street was classified until 2000 street of traditional character.
It was a jewelry of the architectural heritage of Beirut
From 2000 it is no longer the case.
50 percent of old houses,domains and castles collapsed before the height complex of buildings builders,with no laws or authority to restrain them
Even the sky has had its share of destruction
In a very short time we will not see any stretch of sky from my window
The blue color will go away forever
This is the hell that wants to bequeath the constructors of concrete

LIVING ARTIST BEIRUT
BEIRUT LIVING
Living in Beirut these days is very disturbing for Artists but we manage to survive by making Art for fun and not for sale.
Beyrouth is a special city that works in sessions of five years: that is , every five years a new mood rise and the art scene is following this periods.
We are now in the first year of a 5 year session for change.
But we are in a somewhat recession period for art
Some artists are making big exposures and exhebitions
But there is no real selling for works
So grab your chance.
You can count the beginning of this 5 years period anytime!

INSPIRATIONS OF BEIRUT
INSPIRATIONS OF BEIRUT
Gemayzeh
Nothing prevents you to go further, but you must count the return journey.
The three main streets invite walking and put you in good physical and mental health.
That is to say : Gemmayze (Gouraud), the Staircase del'art, Sursock and Fouad Chehab.
No better feeling for Beirut discovery in the morning before starting his day.
I must admit, the Staircase of the Art or Saint Nicolas Stairs, always makes me dreamy.
The things that make the happiness of life are not many, ARCHITECTURE is one of them.
You must pass through the stairway of ART once in life
Just true happiness for short
Feel the steps chasing you
Feel the wind pass you,
breath of pure oxygen into the city, that comes from the port in front of you
Feel the art of making something great, but at the same time so simple
Feel tired and the idea that we must at all costs finish the last stair up.
Yes, it is for the climb that we measure up with the stairs
Going down THE STAIRS only TEST YOU

BEIRUT ART
Beirut Art
What differentiates art forms that are in Beirut and forms that are around the world
can be summarized as follows:
what to do with paintings?
The problem lies not in production but in storage
2.0000000, the figure exaggerates
production is immense
what to do?
every human has the right to say aloud his thoughts
who will purchase its production?

Art in Gemayzeh is like heaven on earth
First I want to tell you a story of how art can grow in a dream
Then skip away
Every day
when I sleep
A fairy tale comes to my ears
I try to follow the story line through the night
Till the morning and I draw the scenes
But one night the fairy leap away
My dreams became nightmares
That's why now I dream of deamons and bones
I enter the world of the death like you enter a pub
In Gemmayzeh
I know it's a dangerous trip
to hell I am dreaming my Artlife
Art seems to lead me to STRANGE routes
I walk in the paths of fear I crawl in the alleys of graves
I nightmare skeletons and corps
I am a vagabond
in the old homes of abandon
I am in the land of oblivion
I spend my nighttime with limbs
I can't dream nice fairies any more
I fly over Beirut
between the crambling old homes,
concreat and iron towers
The streets are getting crowded
CRAWLING corps crawl back to their graves
But I sleep like a dead till the morne
