Rody Sakr

Artist Statement

It is said that the Gods pick artists at birth. The chosen ones are born with the umbilical cord wrapped
around their necks. Mine was wrapped twice. I like to believe I was chosen.
My artworks are visual translations of my deepest feelings and emotions. Torn between my home Country,
Lebanon, and the United States where I currently live, art becomes for me a space of reconciliation. I
process the brutality as well as the beauty of our times through images. Using different techniques I can
explore different states of mind and convey multiple messages. Through my art, my personal stories
become universal as they speak to any people all over the world.
My work is in constant evolution as I am. I like to think at myself as a long life learner, and I believe that I
will never stop growing and experimenting through art
