Beyond political conflicts, Arab-Christian art is proof that an ideal symbiosis existed between civilizations that crossed paths in the Fertile Crescent. Contemplating the one hundred and twenty-three icons selected from Lebanon and Syria lets us penetrate into an unsuspected universe where, in the depths of the cultural, mystical, universalistic Middle-Eastern background there are no compartments, rather an opening to the dimensions of time and space.
