While artists strive to capture the essence of nature’s magnificence, Sammoun ultimately acknowledges that the true artist is nature itself. Sammoun’s meticulous preparation begins with the canvas itself. He carefully prepares his linen canvas with burnt sienna, applied with a pig-bristle brush, and then wiped with a rag to reveal the canvas’s grain. This foundational layer creates a luminous quality that serves as the perfect base for his vibrant colors. Sammoun’s work has been exhibited internationally and is collected by art enthusiasts worldwide.Born in Lebanon in 1952, Samir Sammoun’s childhood surrounded by nature ignited a lifelong passion for art. After immigrating to Canada, he pursued a career in engineering while secretly nurturing his artistic talent. Eventually, his love for painting took center stage, leading him to develop a signature style that blends the energy of impressionism with his unique perspective. A celebrated Lebanese-Canadian artist, Sammoun is renowned for his impressionistic style and vibrant color palette. Inspired by Van Gogh and other impressionist masters, Sammoun has developed a unique artistic voice characterized by bold strokes and a rich interplay of light and color. His paintings, often featuring expansive landscapes and seascapes, invite viewers to experience the beauty of nature in a deeply personal way. “I still keep the vivid memory of this enchanting country of dreams where during the months of March and April the Spring-time fields are carpeted in blood-red poppies and in the autumn months we picked olives from the ancient groves with their ancient and twisted tree trunks. I most cherish the memory of the vibrant vision of the rustling and teeming wheat fields ready for harvest.” - Samir Sammoun
