His main passion and most valuable work is being done in his atelier where there are no limits. Philippe participated in
more than 30 group exhibitions since 2002 and 4 solo ones (Zaman Gallery, Lebanese University, Beit al Hirafi, Cheriff Tabet Gallery). He also participated in group exhibition in New York city at Agora Gallery in 2023.
All his artworks came from accumulations
and experiences related to society and
humanity and its reflections as he see it from his perspective. His works are not
unified with a specific material, he uses different materials according to the
expressive needs of the topics and artworks he does.
Art, to Philippe, encapsulates the essence
of humanity, serving as a profound reflection of our inner selves and cultural
identity. Inspired by the philosophy of existence and the universe, His work
delves into the philosophical realm, exploring the intricate dance between our conscious and subconscious minds.
It is a perpetual question! Existence: why we are here, how we came to be, what our purpose is, and where we will ultimately return. All of my work reflects these questions. It is a continuous search, and the goal is the search itself, as there is no definitive answer—only hypotheses and conclusions. Art was created for this very purpose.
