Anthony Abou Jaoudé 

Anthony Abou Jaoudé born on June 20, 1998 based in Beirut, Lebanon. His passion for artistic endeavors and the encouragement of those around him were two of his driving forces. Anthony began his studies in graphic design. He then pursued events management and hospitality tourism. His copybooks have always been filled with doodled drawings ever since he was in school. Teachers were constantly complaining that he was doodling instead of focusing.

“Once, a teacher became enraged and sent me to the principal's office. When I asked him why I had been thrown out of class, he laughed and said that my drawing was perfect. He wished to select one student to represent the school and take part in a new artistic training program for the young generation. "When Art Addresses the Young," curated by Christophe Delavault, it was displayed at Hotel Le Gray, Beirut,” Anthony explained.

In 2017, when he first began painting, he was interested in the abstract world as it’s the best technique for experimenting. Nowadays, Anthony primarily works with acrylic and mixed media. He developed his own style, which is a synthesis of his personal influences from surrealism, fauvism, cubism, and a dash of psychological expressionism and erotic abstraction. Abou Jaoudé discovers a haven in which the brush and colors express his emotions. He paints with his feelings as a primary tool for his creations, and unleashes his unconscious thoughts to guide him. One can see the freedom in his imagination by simply looking at his art. He wishes to take viewers on a journey and make them understand his personal feelings.

Anthony does not paint what he sees; he paints what he feels. He prefers to conceal the deeper meaning of the piece allowing the naked eye to contemplate and extrapolate the painting in order to understand its true meaning.“It is purely about energy and connection with the piece of art that builds an emotional power of admiration,” he says.

Anthony Abou Jaoude participated in Beirut Art Week 2019 Off/Site, Independent Artist Exhibition, organized by Beirut Art Fair and curated by Emmanuel Guiragossian and his wife Grace.  

In 2021, the young artist created the cover of “Joyful Interlude”, a single by Matter Mos, Indonesian music producer. The same year, Anthony’s art was published on Singulart, an international art platform for emerging and established artists. He became part of Singulart’s 5% “Most Viewed Artists” in 3 days from over +18,000 other creators with more than 175K views worldwide.
