Ana Corbero is a visual artist whose paintings, sculptures, and designs have received acclaim on all continents.
Born in 1961, the daughter of renowned Catalan sculptor Xavier Corbero, she studied in the United States (Dallas, Philadelphia, New York) and has lived in London, Barcelona, Paris and Beirut. In 1996 she married Nabil Gholam, the Beirut-based architect.
Her figurative works display a unique sensitivity to the fragility of nature and the delicate relation between humans and their environment, as well as the variety and complexity of people's inheritances from family, culture, and history. The innocence and simultaneous lucidity of childhood is a theme that runs throughout her creations.
Among her landmark creations are large paintings of water surfaces (the 1001 Tears series); colossal sculptures of contemplative, childlike figures (Little Buddha, Buddhito and Buddhette) which have been exhibited in various public urban settings; the Postcards for Every Occasion print series; and the Maus Haus design creations.
She has had individual exhibitions in places including London, Barcelona, Madrid, New York, Dallas, Istanbul, Beirut, Napa Valley, Tokyo, and Singapore.
