Hey, I'm Angelo.

I'm a Lebanese artist based in Milan, working through painting, poetry, and music. Rather than existing separately, each medium becomes part of the same story i'm trying to tell.

Having grown up between different countries and cultures, my relationship with identity and belonging has always been shaped by a longing to return to somewhere I could call home.

Perhaps that's why so much of what I create is about remembering, holding on, and finding my way back. Much of my childhood was spent with a pencil and paper, drawing faces, imagining characters, and creating little worlds of my own. Before I ever thought of art as something I would pursue, it was simply something I did. I drew, I sang, and I lost myself in stories. I never really questioned why. It was just the way i understood the world around me.

Over time, pencil became charcoal, and eventually, when i moved to Milan, charcoal became paint. That transition felt like a turning point, not because I had discovered something entirely new, but because I had found another way of expressing what had always been there. What began as the innocent thoughts of a child gradually grew into a practice rooted in painting, poetry, and now music.

My work often returns to familiar things: The sea, childhood, distant landscapes, ordinary moments, and the people and places that stay with us long after we've left them.

Painting and writing have always existed closely in my world. Sometimes a painting begins with a sentence, sometimes a poem grows from an image, and sometimes a song creates an entire world in my head before I've even found the words to describe it. Music is another extension of that process, another way of giving shape to feelings and stories that don't always find their place on a canvas or a page.

at the heart of everything I create is an ongoing attempt to understand belonging, not necessarily as a place to arrive at, but as something we carry and remember.
