Born in Mazraat Yachouch, Metn, Lebanon in 1950. Maroun Hakim holds a Master degree in drawing and painting from Lebanese University in 1975, then earned a Master degree in cermaics from Faculty of Applied Arts, Rome, Italy. He is neither a painter only nor a sculptor only, he is both. His relationship with Nature, his homeland Lebanon, his village Mazraat Yachouh, color, and stone or wood are all vital to a flux of creative work that is in a continuous evolution.
He never stops experimenting in textures or in mediums of expression whether acrylic, watercolor, oil, pastel or gouache, breathing into them the richness and passionate variations of his vision and spirit.

Maroun never forgets his sculptor talent in the game of lines and virtual volumes as he periodically alters between varieties of stone, marble, wood and steel.
