Imad started his career with a bachelor’s degree in Interior Design obtained in 1992 in Lebanon. He soon after moved to Dubai and began on his artistic journey with art exhibitions in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi before being commissioned to do original artwork for corporate offices and high end hotels within the emirates. Consequently Imad established his fine art company “Bechara Studio” in 2000 and has grown since. Over the past two decades Imad has worked on numerous projects in which he established himself as a leading artist and an innovator when it comes to creating original artwork that fits corporate offices, hotels as well as personal homes.
