Naji Awad
Welcome to the official Naji's Art website, where you'll discover a diverse collection of original artworks on fine art canvas. Naji's dedication to acrylic abstract paintings is driven by the inspiring colors he envisions when facing a blank canvas. Each piece is a unique creation that reflects the forms and shapes he has encountered in his remarkable journey.
Naji believes in the exclusivity of his art, and he releases only a select number of pieces, each carrying the essence of his creative spirit. We invite you to join him in celebrating the beauty and creativity of Naji's Art, where every brushstroke tells a story, and every canvas is a window into his soul.
Naji Awad was born in Lebanon in 1957 and his journey has been a remarkable one. Growing up in Beirut during the tumultuous Lebanese civil war of 1974, he witnessed the stark realities of life and conflict, which would go on to deeply influence his artistic expression.
In 1974, Naji and his family immigrated to Canada, marking the beginning of a new chapter. He settled in Montreal and embarked on his educational journey, pursuing a degree in psychology at the Université de Montréal. This was the foundation upon which he built a career in the retail industry, all the while nurturing his innate passion for painting.
In 1997, Naji made a life-changing move to Vancouver, a city that would further fuel his artistic aspirations. With a successful career under his belt, he decided to retire and dedicate himself wholeheartedly to the art he had been practicing for over 35 years. Naji is a self-taught artist, and his work reflects the depth of his experiences, from his war-torn childhood to the rich tapestry of life itself.
One of the unique aspects of Naji's art is his approach to style. Rather than conforming to a specific genre, he draws inspiration from what unfolds in his mind when he stands before a canvas. His style is a reflection of what he envisions, allowing him to capture the ever-changing tapestry of his thoughts and emotions.
