Joseph Chalouhi is a Lebanese-born contemporary artist based in Lyon, France. His work explores the material traces of memory, heritage, and displacement, using earth, ink, gold powder, and mixed media to construct compositions that oscillate between analog texture and digital abstraction.

Born in Darbechtar, North Lebanon, Joseph trained as an architect at the Lebanese University, with a specialization in the restoration and conservation of monuments. He later completed an MBA in Artistic and Cultural Management at the École d’Art et de Culture in France. This dual formation, structural and curatorial, shapes an artistic practice where materiality is never accidental: every surface is built, every layer is deliberate.

His main body of work, Ombres Pixélisées: Mémoire et Métamorphose, transforms the shadows of personal and collective history into pixelated compositions made from the very soil of his birthplace. The project has been exhibited in Lebanon, and France, and covered by press outlets across Lebanon, the middle east and asia.

Joseph’s practice treats the pixel not as a digital artifact, but as a unit of memory, a fragment of something once whole, now recomposed into a new visual order.
