A Lifetime Devoted to One Love
For Hassan Jouni, painting isn’t work. It’s everything. My painting is the first and last lover of my life.
Hassan Jouni paints not for the market, not for trends, but because he must. That singular devotion is what collectors
recognize in his work. It’s why demand has stayed consistent across 27 WAC auctions. Some
artists paint for a living. Jouni lives to paint.

The Memories That Became Masterpieces
Walking through Beirut with his father. Painting what he can’t forget.
Every painting Hassan Jouni makes carries a memory. Walking to his father’s
shop. The old coffee houses. Streets that no longer exist. His works don’t just decorate walls —
they preserve a world. Pieces start under $1,000. Collected works range up to $12,000.
