Music Player by Hussein Madi

Painter, sculptor, and engraver, Hussein Madi was born in 1938 in Chebaa in South Lebanon. Known for his colourful works that harmonises abstract design and Islamic art, he is today one of the Middle East’s most famous artists.

After completing his studies at the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts in Beirut, Madi moved to Rome, Italy, studying everything from frescoes and mosaics to sculpture techniques in bronze and wax. In 1986 he relocated to Beirut, where he has been working ever since. Inspired by European artists likes Matisse and Picasso, he displays superb draftsmanship, his eye notably sensitive to the linear definition of form.
