The title of this exhibition: "Silhouettes en Dialogue", conveys the essence of the theme that focuses on human figures in various states of dialogues. It presents new works in painting, sculpture, and assemblage. The highlight of this exhibition was the introduction of a new experience in sculpture where wood meets steel in a total contrast of materials that strengthens the artist's messages through his work.

Biography
For more than fifty years now, Maroun Hakim has been working in painting and sculpting with the same natural ease and more importantly with the same love.
He is neither a painter only nor a sculptor only, he is both. His relationship with Nature, his homeland Lebanon, his village Mazraat Yachouh, color, and stone or wood are all vital to a flux of creative work that is in continuous evolution.
He never stops experimenting in textures or in mediums of expression whether acrylic, watercolor, oil, pastel or gouache, breathing into them the richness and passionate variations of his soul and spirit.
Maroun never forgets his sculptor talent in the game of lines and virtual volumes as he periodically shifts to Lebanese stone, white marble, or wood.
He currently is fully dedicated to his art, spending most of his time creating at his “Atelier du Bonheur” in his hometown Mazraat Yachouh, Lebanon.
He has a plethora of painted and sculpted artistic works at the Lebanese Ministry of Culture, Qana Museum, and Musem of the Fine Arts; also, along with art collectors, relatives, and friends in Lebanon, Morocco, Canada, France, United States, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and Syria, etc.

M. Hakim
For more than fifty years now, Maroun El Hakim has been moving between painting and sculpting with the same natural ease and especially with the same love. He is not a painter or a sculptor, he is both. His relation with color is vital while his work is a continuous elaboration of the techniques and potentials of matter. He never stops experimenting textures and mediums of expression whether in acrylics, watercolors, oils, pastels or gouache while he breathes into them the richness and passionate variations of his soul and spirit. He never forgets in the game of lines and virtual volumes that he is also a sculptor.
