A glimpse of the painter (Written by the Painter himself in the year 2000)

Nationality: Lebanese

Place and date of Birth: Born in Beirut-Lebanon in 1933
Education: Graduated from the Lebanese University... with a degree that has nothing to do with Art (This degree allowed him to focus on a career in public administration, at that time and for many years to come; painting was far beyond his reach).
He spent his life lost, dreaming of becoming an artist. He never joined any art school.
He knew that great art could not be taught at a school, university or at any place else for that matter.
Art, in his opinion, is a seed that grows in the being without any need for emotions or willpower.
Art is like the scent that emanates so naturally and effortlessly from the flowers which do not have feelings about it.
One day, he decided to be a painter... and to start painting.
And from that day he did not do anything else but paint.

That decision had only one cause (His wife and muse Janan is the women the painter refers to.)

"A Woman"

H Alameddine

Alameddine, asks God to give him more time so he can draw his muse and dream partner, Janan: "I am practicing portrait drawing because I want to draw
Janan in a way that reflects her true identity." With a voice overcome with tears he says: "After that, I don't care if I die the same day."

Talent is truly a rare and precious thing, when it is nurtured it transforms into a blessing to the artist, to the loved ones around him to the fine art seekers all over the world. Hassan Alameddine was a great painter, who really bloomed near the end of his life when he fell in love and married his muse. He, later on, overcame partial paralysis by using his left hand when his right arm was paralyzed by a brain stroke, for he could not imagine his life without his art and he also knew how much his beautiful painting meant to his beloved muse.

The sheer simplicity and beauty of his paintings are a true witness to his great talent.
