"I used to look at modern paintings, which most people considered ugly, and found that in my eyes, they were beautiful."
SALIBA DOUAIHY
ARTIST / PAINTER (1915 / 1994)
Born in 1915 in a mountainous town in northern Lebanon, Douaihy was first exposed to painting and art through the Maronite churches in his hometown. Due to his apprenticeship with Habib Srour at the age of 14, his style was initially realistic and figurative.
Srour was a portrait painter of religious, social, and political Arab figures in Lebanon and taught Douaihy the techniques of drawing and painting. Douaihy later assisted Srour in large church murals.
