About Nabil Nahas

Nabil Nahas is a Lebanese artist known for his abstract paintings inspired by nature and Islamic visual culture. His work has gone through several stylistic changes, from hard-edged geometric shapes to somber, less geometric canvases, and later to three-dimensional sea life forms created from casts of starfish and clams. His recent work merges his signature styles, combining the forms from his early compositions with his tree paintings to create energetic canvases full of color and life. Nahas is one of Lebanon’s most renowned living artists, and works between Beirut and New York.
