From being known as “the kid who can draw” amongst family members to getting featured in GQ Middle East’s “50 faces of Lebanon’s global creative community,” interior architect and illustrator Tony Maalouf has been successfully associating his emotionally-filled mixed media artworks with Lebanese culture and local political and social events. You might be familiar with his viral “Bonjus and Mankoushe” valentine-special illustration, or the powerful animation he created for Pfizer’s #WorldCancerAwarnessMonth2022 campaign. If not, this is a good chance for you to become familiar with Maalouf’s journey, the singular compositions that make him recognizable, the influence that his background in architecture has on his art, and his two favorite female singers! Tune in to this episode of Beirut Buzz to find out more about the inspiration behind Maalouf’s drawings and his upcoming collaborative project with Greenpeace!
