MELISSA CHALHOUB

Melissa Chalhoub studied filmmaking at the University of Saint Joseph, Lebanon. She directed, edited and sound designed many Experimental short films, translating her love for painting into sound and movement.

She works now as a painter and graphic artist, other than her drawings she has designed album covers, illustrated poems and published a book.

She took part in many exhibitions and art fairs as well as being published in international magazines.

Melissa Chalhoub study emotion, their expression in body language, and the interaction between figures.

Using scribbled lines, she chisels onto the paper with the mindset of a sculpture focusing on texture and contrast. “My work focuses on family, human intimacy, the feelings of loneliness, sadness and the concept of being lost in this rapidly changing world”.
