JULIE BOU FARAH

Julie Bou Farah graduated from the Académie Libanaise des Beaux Arts. In 2007, she became a Lecturer at the Lebanese University, and participated in numerous exhibits in Lebanon and abroad.

Throughout her career as an artist, she remained in touch with her inner child, as it is evident in her sense of playfulness, immediacy and spontaneity. Julie’s imaginative style focuses on daily life in its simplest and most charming form.

Children and animals are often depicted in her works, as seen in Circle of Life, 1992. Thanks to this joyful painting, Bou Farah became Sociétaire at the Salon d’Automne, Grand Palais, Paris, France.

Furthermore, in 1999, her esteemed painting Le Manège (Fun Fair) was awarded First Prize at the Henri Matisse 16th UMAM Biennale in Nice, France .
