Dear visitor, you’re cordially welcome to share my artistic vision, fruits of my soul.My work is essentially spiritual & my art is aspiring to beauty, by pondering human & universal Truth.
Some people may classify my work as “Surrealistic”, “Symbolic”, or “Spiritual”.
But I prefer “Metaphysical” because I am looking to paint a reality above the physical , something that you may call the Spiritual Truth , of course once you believe it,as I am................................................................................................................AM

"The recent paintings of Antoine Mansour that bring us face to face with our reality as human beings, lead us in a circuit of interrogations and representations of which we cannot stop the motion, unless we refer to the divine creator, or seek refuge in the artist’s soul, whose warm and fervent welcome gives us the aesthetic pleasure, by sharing his authentically human worries to communicate his virtues to all beings aspiring towards fulfillment.
Philosophical, or rather metaphysical, the achievements of Antoine Mansour never cease to be the product of an artist who calls for his sensitivity, his fine taste, his sense of harmony, and only uses his intellect in order to organize what his sensibility and imagination provide as raw material.
Ravishing, captivating, truth revealing, stimulating spiritual and human energies, the paintings of Antoine Mansour, albeit figurative, serve as a point of departure for a new rebirth "... Joseph Abou Rizk
