About the artist

Farid Aouad — Pastel on Paper , 40 × 25 cm (representative image)
Farid Aouad

Lebanon, b. 1924–1982

Farid Aouad (1924–1982) was a prominent Lebanese painter recognized for his significant contributions to modern art in Lebanon. Born in Beirut, Aouad studied at the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts (ALBA) before furthering his education in Paris, where he was influenced by European modernism. His work is characterized by a distinctive abstract style, often blending geometric forms with expressive brushwork, and he is celebrated for his mastery of both oil painting and drawing. Aouad’s compositions frequently explore themes of urban life and the Lebanese landscape, rendered with a subtle interplay of color and form.

Aouad’s art has been exhibited in major institutions, including the Sursock Museum in Beirut, which has featured his work in both solo and group exhibitions, underscoring his lasting impact on the Lebanese art scene. His paintings have also appeared in significant auctions at leading houses such as Christie’s and Sotheby’s, where they have attracted attention from collectors of Middle Eastern modern art. Farid Aouad remains a key figure in Lebanon’s artistic heritage, with his works held in both private and public collections, reflecting his enduring influence on generations of artists in the region.

Pastel

Pure pigment in stick form, applied dry for soft, velvety color and luminous, chalky surfaces. Sitting between drawing and painting, it prizes immediacy, texture, and subtle blending.

Expressionism

Art that prioritizes emotion and inner experience over realistic depiction, using distortion, bold color, and energetic mark-making. In the region it gave modern artists a language for memory, displacement, and identity.
