Born in Lebanon in 1970, Mansour El Habre is an emerging artist working in painting, printmaking and new media.

Graduated in arts from the Institute of Fine Arts of the Lebanese University of Beirut in 1994, he then pursued a master's degree at the University of Balamand. As an artist living and working in Beirut, he also teaches at the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts, one of the city's main art schools. In addition to exhibiting regularly in some of Lebanon's greatest artistic spaces, it has been featured in galleries and festivals in the Gulf, Europe and North America.

El Habre's canvases are dominated by images of sturdy and distorted subjects, gnarled “organic” shapes and unusual geometric constructions that are accentuated by flat, colorful backgrounds. Reducing his human figures to a series of blunt lines and flowing shapes, he juxtaposes their fluid energy with the limited palette that includes their indescribable static decor. This results in moving compositions in which its protagonists appear in a state of constant movement, leaping towards the viewer.
