Description
Beirut-born Hrair Diarbekirian (b. 1946) swiftly established himself as a leading figure in the contemporary art scene in Lebanon, celebrated for his distinctive painting style and charismatic presence. Educated at the Académie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts (ALBA), his background in interior architecture imbued his compositions with a sense of spatial harmony and structural balance. Diarbekirian’s prodigious talent was recognized early, notably at the Sursock Museum's Salon d'Automne, where esteemed critics like Helen Khal singled him out as a rising star. By the age of 18, he had already garnered significant acclaim, earning prestigious awards, including a gold medal for his tapestries designed for the Presidential Palace in Beirut.
Diarbekirian's work is held in esteemed collections, including those of Queen Elizabeth II, King Fahad of Saudi Arabia, Liza Minelli, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, among others. With a distinguished exhibition history across Europe and the Middle East, he is celebrated for his lyrical deconstruction of traditional forms.
