Bilal Artist’s son

Bilal is our third son. When he was 11 years old, he discovered a painting I had drawn in 1970 for Yazid and Bashar (his two elder brothers) and noticed that he was not present in the painting. So, he seriously protested which made me paint him after the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, where I promised him a special drawing with his two brothers. I painted him as if he was sitting in the studio, with two paintings of his brothers and mother in the background and a painting bearing my personal picture on which the tip of my baldness appears.
