Kiyan Art

My interest in art developed while I was living in London, the city of cultural dynamism. Having witnessed war in Lebanon between 1973 and 1984, I came to the United Kingdom as an economics student with an inner world torn by images of violence mingled with a nostalgic passion towards my homeland. It is precisely this nostalgia that motivated my initial interest in orientalist art . Realizing that orientalist art is rather a folkloric depiction of the East , my interest shifted towards Middle Eastern contemporary and modern art, hence my regular visits to specialized art galleries.
