About Jimmy
Dynamic and passionate artist from Lebanon born in 1980, working in painting and design. His interpretation of the spirit of fine art saturates his work with a unique expressive richness. Although each new subject seems to dictate the style and approach, his paintings have always limitless use of color, light, texture, atmosphere, energy, and emotion.
Before graduation in Graphic Design with a Bachelor of Arts from the American University of Science & Technology Beirut in 2008, his promising talent in drawing and painting earned him one of six spots in the university’s Fine Arts Continuing Education Program, completed in 2005.
Following graduation, Jimmy lived in Beirut and was assigned throughout more than fifteen years, different jobs in design, advertising, and marketing for reputable local and international companies. In addition to teaching art and design in educational institutions, he undertook art commissions, and conducted guided art therapy and private tutoring in drawing and painting.
Jimmy became a fully dedicated artist by the end of the year 2019, seven years after being slightly away from the art scene learning and exploring. His latest work has been showcased during October 2021 at Kan Yama Kan Designs Gallery in Beirut.
