Description
Mazen Rifai is a Lebanese artist and architect. Born in Baalbek in 1957, he studied at the Lebanese University and the Academia de Macerata in Italy. He was involved in Oger Liban’s plan for the reconstruction of Beirut Central District before being appointed director at Engineers, Consulting & Contracting firm.
His professional practice has somehow influenced his landscapes that always “start with a place”, as he says, and are rigorously constructed and devoid of any superficial features. Akl Awit writes that “not all abysses a peak, not all passion seizes the eye, but that which fascinates in how it captivates, breathing reverence for the artistry of a dream, a contemplation, a unity, in hues of emotions, with no boundaries on the outskirts of any colour; an ability to discover what was in no way anticipated, but was always the crux of the matter.”
