Rudy Rahme

Rudy Rahme is a Franco-Lebanese sculptor, painter and poet, born in 1967 in Bcharré.

He studied at the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts (ALBA), then specialized in fresco painting in Florence. He continued his artistic career in Paris, where he directed the lost-wax casting workshops at the Coubertin Foundry.

His career allowed him to invent several unique pictorial techniques, such as: pencil on paper, fresco on wood paper, charcoal and fresco on canvas, as well as charcoal and fresco on wood paper.

His name entered the Guinness Book of Records thanks to a 39-meter sculpture, The Father's Cedar, among other cedar sculptures called The Cedars of Lamartine, located in the Cedar Forest in Bcharre, Lebanon.

Rudy Rahme is a complete artist, mastering both painting and sculpture. Through his techniques, he creates images that are poetic, dreamlike, and hyperrealistic. He thus creates a striking and fantastical universe all his own.

The artist draws his inspiration from the works of the great masters of Italian painting and sculpture: Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael.

Rudy Rahme has exhibited his works around the world and has received several awards, such as the Sursock Prize, the Said Akl Prize and the Murex d'Or.
