Bayrut by Câline Farah

the Story
“Bayrut” is a deeply evocative and haunting abstract painting, created in June 2020, just two months before the tragic Beirut Blast on August 4th—one of the largest explosions in modern history. Looking back, artist Câline Farah reflects on the eerie symbolism within the painting, as if it were a premonition of what was to come. The two bold X marks stand out, mirroring the two successive explosions that shook Beirut to its core. The painting was created in a state of artistic flow, with the brush moving instinctively across the canvas, capturing the chaos, energy, and raw emotion that would later take on a much deeper significance. Bayrut is not just a painting—it is a silent witness to history, an expression of the soul of a city forever changed.
