Vera Mokbel, a painting that listensIn the secrecy of her studio in an ancient Lebanese house, Vera Mokbel paints as she sings. This seventeenth-century residence, which retains the contemplative atmosphere of a church whose walls it occupies, looks out over the heights of Zouk, across a flower-filled, tree-lined garden, refreshed by a pool, to the immensity of the Mediterranean horizon. In fact, the artist's first subjects are these old houses with their characteristic carved-stone architecture, topped with red-tiled roofs and set against solid arches that grace their facades with their rounded lines.
The woman who was one of the first activists to preserve Lebanon's heritage was faced with an urgent task: to preserve, in her own way, a trace of all this beauty, which the war was in danger of sweeping away. From then on, for Vera Mokbel, painting meant protecting. She began her career by domesticating reality through figurative art, which does not seek to show anything other than what it shows. The houses she reproduces almost obsessively are what they are: the last haunts of an art of living that future generations may never know, and which she restores as they are, bathed in light and tranquil happiness.
