Bassam Andari is a Lebanese-British self-taught artist based in London. After a long career in journalism, he turned to painting as a powerful medium for storytelling, channelling his passion for human emotion and experience into landscapes and figurative works. Each piece is crafted to explore the depth of feeling that defines our shared humanity.
The 1975 war that devastated Lebanon left a lasting impression on Bassam, who was a child at the time. That early exposure to conflict shaped his understanding of people’s struggles, relationships, and emotional resilience. As a result, he grew into a strong advocate for human rights and social justice, with a firm stance against war and corruption.
Themes of loneliness frequently emerge in his work too, whether through solitary figures or evocative landscapes. Bassam invites viewers to look beyond the surface of his paintings—to consider the story behind each composition and the intention behind his choice of subject matter. His art often carries a distinct mood, one that may be poetic, mysterious, or symbolic. Though rooted in realism, his style blends impressionistic elements to create a layered, emotionally resonant experience.
