A Pink Hope, 2025
Acrylic on canvas
130*110 cm
Live painting, Sold at a public auction during the CIBC Bank Gala as a part of my solo exhibition (Fight together)held in conjunction with the event.
In this soft painting, we see a woman in pain, closing her eyes in peace, while a pink flamingo holds her gently with its wings, like a shield of hope and love.
The choice of the flamingo is not random. This bird’s a symbol of beauty, balance, inner peace, and social life built on care and support. The woman, in her journey, also needs to feel her inner beauty, to keep her balance, and to hold on to peace inside her heart.
The flamingo’s known for standing on one leg, showing a strong sense of balance. In the same way, the woman fights her illness by standing on the leg of hope, even when pain tries to bring her down. She keeps her balance between fear and faith, between pain and hope.
The flamingo also stands for love and loyalty, as it chooses one partner for life. This reminds us of the support she receives from her partner, family, or friends, who give her love and warmth during her struggle. The bird also symbolizes renewal and change, because its pink color changes with its food. This’s a sign that the body, even if it becomes weak, can heal and shine again with new colors of life.
The woman has the same qualities: beauty in her soul, balance in her heart, the power to love, the strength to accept support, and the ability to renew and transform after illness.
In this painting, the flaming’s more than a bird. It’s holding the woman to remind her that, she can stand strong even on one leg, and keep her pink light and soft spirit alive.

The Absent Present
Live Painting during The Lebanon Cinema Days Festival.
This painting breathes with the aged, timeless colors of history, telling the story of a human who departed in body but whose presence remains. Physical absence here is not emptiness—it is a profound spiritual presence that embraces every emotion, truer and deeper than any material appearance.
The cloud in the work represents Ziad’s spirit—the dominant presence in the scene, showering the earth with the music of his creativity in every moment, reminding us of all the masterpieces he crafted with steady, authentic steps, a living continuation of the rich Rahbani legacy. It is a voice that never fades, an echo that resonates between heaven and earth—a timeless bridge between life and art.
In this painting, the word “Minhebbak” (“We love you”) appears as an invitation from the artist Randa Hijazi to artist Carmen Labess to join her in writing this message, carried to her by Ziad’s devoted fans and admirers. This message embodies the immense love people hold for Ziad, so that the result is a painting filled with emotion and devotion.
The painting whispers that the connection between sky and earth is not reserved for saints alone, but for every artist who leaves an indelible mark on the world. Ziad left a legacy that proves art is not a luxury, but a vital necessity—like air, water, and sunlight—a daily nourishment for culture, the building of a nation, and the shaping of conscious generations.
