Jean-Marc Nahas is a Lebanese-Canadian artist known for his expressive, emotionally charged visual language and deep engagement with themes of war, memory, and the human condition. Born in 1963 in Beirut, he came of age during the Lebanese Civil War—an experience that continues to shape his artistic voice. At the age of 17, he moved to Paris, where he studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA) and Penninghen. His training was further enriched under the mentorship of artists such as Pierre Alechinsky, Vladimir Veličković, Ferit Iscan, and Albert Zavaro. Nahas’s work has been widely exhibited and is included in major collections around the world, including the British Museum, the Vatican Museum, the Sursock Museum, Bank Audi Foundation, CAP Foundation Kuwait, and the Macklowe Collection in New York. His most recent major retrospective was held at the Beirut Exhibition Center in 2013. Formerly represented by Galerie Marwan Hoss in Paris, he is currently represented by Opera Gallery Beirut. He divides his time between North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
