Born in 1947, Kameel Hawa is a Lebanese artist, painter, graphic designer, and writer. A graduate of the American University of Beirut and with no formal art education, Hawa began to paint intuitively in the 1970s. He was mostly inspired by daily life objects and domestic scenes, with seated women, friends, and acquaintances, flowers in vases, and birds on wires being his favorite subjects. In the preceding years, the focus of his daily work drove him away from painting as a central activity, though it remains, in his own words, ‘the paramount means of his artistic expression.’ His art, design, and writing have many common traits, the most evident of which is the ease of expression without compromising the profoundness of feeling and overwhelming passion.
