Jad Zeitouni is a Lebanese self- taught artist who believes painting is a latent talent uncovered through self- discovery and experimentation. Drawing inspiration from his environment and engineering background, he explores uncharted aspects of life, as seen in his “Landslide: Grass Cutters” series.
Influenced by Francis Bacon and Lucien Freud, Zeitouni’s work is a blend of abstract and figurative realism, characterized by a vibrant color palette that evokes strong emotions. His technique involves bold brush strokes, dynamic figures, and rich undertones to create texture and movement.
Zeitouni incorporates photography into his paintings, layering acrylic and oil on wood panels with varnish to achieve a 3D effect. This process reveals psychological depths, inviting viewers to engage with the emotional and conflictual narratives within his art. Ultimately, Zeitouni’s art is about mastering chaos, both on the canvas and in his mind.
