IHAB AHMAD

Born in Beirut in 1983, Ihab Ahmad graduated in Visual Communication Art from the Lebanese University. Ihab’s work is diverse – In addition to acrylic & collage on canvas, he developed a symbiotic relationship with his intriguing natural geometric symbols such as fish, eyes, trees, all of which emerged as an intense & bright abstraction. This connection is entrenched in his determination to defy his childhood memories of war. His joyful art & affinity with color became a powerful message of optimism. Every work has the potential to reveal the artist’s psyche. The symbols elaborated on his canvas trigger the imagination of the viewer, a dialogue with the surreal, and an open ended horizon of contemplation & decoding.
