A Sculptor of Wood and Spirit: The Enigmatic World of Maroun El-Hakim The name Maroun El-Hakim resonates within the relatively quiet sphere of contemporary Lebanese sculpture, yet a comprehensive narrative of his life remains elusive. Emerging in 1993, El-Hakim quickly distinguished himself through an intensely personal and evocative approach to wood carving. While biographical details are scarce – a testament perhaps to the artist’s preference for allowing his work to speak directly – enough evidence exists to paint a picture of a deeply sensitive creator profoundly connected to his Lebanes…
A chart of maroun el-hakim's corpus mapped not by date but by subject. Spokes are what they painted; rings are when; and the threads between stars reveal the patrons and places that secretly connect them.
Each arm of the atlas gathers works by what they depict: portraits, sacred scenes, mythologies, and the scientific studies. Click a spoke to swing that cluster to the top.
Distance from the center marks time. The innermost ring is the earliest period; the outermost, the final years. Style matures as you move outward.
Coloured lines link works bound by the same patron, commission, or theme. Trace a context to watch related clusters light up across subjects.
