Methodology

My name is Salem Beiruti, I am a conceptual artist, art director and illustrator. 

I love drawing, I love colors. I have loved everything that has to do with illustrations since I was little. Growing up in Lebanon, I had a dream of becoming a professional illustrator, so I began my journey to make it a reality.

I studied, graduated and worked as a graphic designer and illustrator in publishing houses in Lebanon and abroad. I pursued that dream by illustrating books that belonged to different writers.  I also worked as an art director for advertising agencies between Lebanon, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. It was a good experience, but I always felt that it wasn't exactly the dream I had, until I made the biggest decision of my life. I left the Middle East, moved to Madrid in Spain and finally fulfilled my dream of becoming a conceptual artist.

My work is identified as figurative art, expressive with mystery. Whenever you look at my work, look at the details and specifically at the eyes, I love eyes, they can seduce you, they can tell you my own story. In my art you can also see what I call “Transition”, it is the result of this continuous journey as the man who comes from the Arab culture of the Middle East and its traditions, to become who I am.

A man who is always willing to leave his comfort zone and express himself, showing his admiration for the human body in a mysterious and passionate way.
