Father-daughter duo Anachar and Shana from the Basbous family that has shaped Lebanon’s art scene for generations. This month, the artists reflect on their relationship fostered by a shared fondness of creativity, as well as the works closest to their hearts. “I am creating a body of work that is derived from all the images I have been experiencing and seeing in the last six months,” Anachar tells
#VogueArabia . “This is not about politics; it is a human issue. We are living in a strange and cruel world. We are living a nightmare for humanity. My new project reflects my sadness.” With 45 years of sculpting under his belt, Anachar has been recognized by more than 20 exhibitions in Lebanon, the UAE, France, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. His lifetime work is a love letter to Rachana, his hometown and greatest source of inspiration. “My dad’s art is cosmic, energetic. It is the sun, the sky, the cosmos. For me, it is a dream,” says Shana.
