Opinion:

For Camille Allam, creation does not have limits and his dream is to go on the MOON, amalgamating, with lunar dust his creations.

One day, in 1985, discovering a cluster of branches of trees and brushwood thrown, at Deir El Qamar, in the field, he foresees the features of a face then of a human body: The Natural Man has just been born and the series of the NATURAL ART will begin.
But nothing seems to stop him in so good way and similar discoveries will further bring him in the paths of creation.

In 1990 while handling silicone, he immediately discovered out the capacity of this matter to collect and to channel the light: by adding pigments to it, PAINTING WITH SILICONE had been born. He is prided to be the pioneer for it: ” I do not tend to prove Something, it is just an idea but it is mine”

Then it was the cock, the cat, the croco, the gazelle, the dunkie, the dino, and the other fantastic animals.

L’ agenda culturel - 2006:

Chercheur infatigable, les rencontres de Camille Allam avec des matières semblent le guider toujours plus loin dans son parcours créatif. Sa série d'Art Naturel est née d'un amas de branchages à travers lequel il entrevit un jour une esquisse de visage et de corps humain; c'est en manipulant fortuitement du silicone que la capacité de cette matière à capter la lumière l'a mené à l'utiliser comme base de peinture en y mélangeant des pigments, puis vint la série des animaux fantastiques...

L'éclectique Camille Allam est diplômé en architecture intérieure et en musicologie de l'USEK, et en peinture de l'Académie Artium de Madrid. Chef d'atelier et membre du jury de diplôme à l'Université Libanaise, il est aussi membre de l'Association des peintres et sculpteurs libanais, de l'Association internationale des peintres et sculpteurs, et de celle de l'Escalier de l'Art à Gemayzé.

Depuis 1985, il a participé aux plus importante expositions collectives du Liban tout en présentant son parcours personnel dynamique lors d'expositions individuelles. Ses œuvres sont en exposition permanente à l'Atelier de la rue Sursock. (Sursock Street Workshop).

Camille Allam - Initials Art

It all begun when someone asked me a year ago to paint a canvas that would be a special gift for an office. It was obvious to me that anyone would like his initials proudly hanged up on a wall So I painted the first V as one letter initial. Since then I didn't stop because I liked the idea...
