E. Azar

E. Azar is a master of conveying a sense of 'joie de vivre' through his acrylic paintings. His works are radiant and dreamy, and represent a world where humans appear not as isolated creatures, but as an integral part of their surroundings. The women and men, depicted here in a simplified manner, are often physically connected to and interwoven with the larger, decorative structure that surrounds them. Through this pictorial structure, Azar conveys an inseparable connection between the internal and external worlds of human beings. Azar uses a full palette, often emphasizing unmixed, bright colors to bring out a kaleidoscope-like pattern that is fresh and intriguing. Azar stays away from geometric figures or angles. Instead, everything in his paintings is fluid and life-like. Azar comes from a large Lebanese Christian family. Although he studied interior design and architecture in Paris and pursued many other courses of study, including business, medicine, and archeology, painting has remained his favorite occupation since early childhood.
