Artist
Profile
Hicham a self-taught artist presently lives with his wife and four
children in Nabatieh, Lebanon. After receiving his B.Sc. in Computer Engineering from Iowa
State University, he has continued to work in the same field. However, his enthusiasm for
art has persisted and he deals creativity with awesomeness of the Spiritual World on his
canvas.
Hicham Takache is an artist who displays a unique sensitivity and
enthusiasm in his work. At first glance his paintings excite our senses and invade our
spirit. His work demonstrates the artistic adroitness inherited from Nabatieh, a quaint
mountain town in South Lebanon that inspired many local artists.
Hicham is able to attain such meritorious work by using the smoothness
and the fluidity of the oil painting; thus allowing him to generate a feeling of depth and
infinity in his art.
Hichams paintings have been exhibited in Lebanon, Toronto,
Ottawa, Philadelphia, Cleveland,
Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Kansas City and Montreal. A glimpse to his art is provided by Eid
and postcards reproduced from his original paintings. He continues to perpetuate the
magnificent tradition of calligraphic art from his studio, the art that links the present
to the past and invokes in us a sense of mystery and splendour.
