Berbéri's interest is the constant confrontation with bronze, steel, resin, and other materials, each with their unique expressive qualities.
Antoine Berbéri was born in 1944, in Beirut, Lebanon. Since 1965 he has been a Member of the Graphic and Plastic Art French Federation - Paris. Berbéri’s works have been exhibited all over the world, including the Modern Art Museum in Paris, Sursock Museum in Beirut - Lebanon, Gibran Museum in Bicharry - Lebanon.
