Samir Sammoun: Taking Post Impressionism to New Heights

SAMIR SAMMOUN —Samir Sammoun was born in a quaint Lebanese village perched atop the Chouf Mountain, 40 km south of Beirut. To this day, the artist vividly recalls the colourful Mediterranean landscape of his childhood. At age 21, Samir Sammoun immigrated to Canada where he obtained degrees in electronic engineering and telecommunications. Since graduation, he has pursued his professional career as well as his passion, painting.

Samir Sammoun does have a unique post-impressionist style and technique. A great colourist by nature, he has a very rich palette of up to 30 tones and shades. He uses soft, round brushes and works mainly on jute, a rougher, stronger material than the traditional linen canvas. Jute is capable of holding the generous amount of material that Samir uses to create a backdrop.

When starting to paint, Samir Sammoun carefully prepares his canvas with burnt sienna, which he applies with a pig-bristle brush then wipes with a rag to remove any excess. His goal is to have the grain of the canvas show. This technique is used to create the illusion of light throughout the painting.
