Nutopia

Born on March 11, 1989, in Tripoli, Lebanon, Wawi holds both French and Lebanese nationalities. After graduating in computer science and management from the Lebanese University in Tripoli, he moved to France, where he obtained a diploma in video game design and creation at the LISAA school in Paris. At the age of 19, he suffered a serious back injury that left him unable to move for a time. During this period of forced immobility, the desire to express movement was born. From that point on, he felt the need to create everywhere and at all times, discovering an exceptional ability to adapt to his surroundings. His choice of supports and mediums expanded: from street art, using markers, acrylic murals,ink , and urban installations—to canvas, photography, digital painting, and light painting. Through this process, movement began to challenge the materiality of art itself. Wawi’s openness to new experiences has led him to contribute to numerous group and solo exhibitions, including the Carrousel du Louvre, and collaboration with NGOs and artists worldwide.
