Adel Hadri, a Lebanese painter based in Beirut, combines abstraction and Arabic calligraphy, inspired by the facades, textures, and diverse history of the old city. His paintings blend architectural impressions with calligraphy, creating rhythmic surfaces that evoke cultural memory and urban transformation. Hadri regularly exhibits his work in Lebanon and online, embodying a dialogue between heritage and contemporary abstraction, celebrating Beirut's resilience and evolving identity.

Hadri was born in Lebanon in 1972 and practiced classical Arabic calligraphy and graphic design for over twenty-five years until 2019. He then transitioned to modern visual art, offering a unique experience in translating Arabic calligraphy into abstract paintings.

Hadri emulates calligraphy and ancient modern architecture, telling the story of civilization.

He emulates contemporary artistic styles through color and form, continuing to this day in 2025.
