If you’re in the mood for art that feels relatable, Art District Beirut has a new exhibition to check out.

Lebanese artist Joseph Haykal is presenting his first solo exhibition, “AS WE ARE,” a collection that dives into the emotions, experiences, and moments that shape everyday life. The collection includes bold colours, expressive faces, and striking figures with the artist’s signature Neo and Pop Art approach.

Rather than focusing on perfect versions of ourselves, “AS WE ARE” looks at real life in all its complexity, including the challenges, victories, and personal moments.
