Joseph Aphram

Joseph Aphram has artistry in his veins. Two master’s degrees deep into his professional career, Interior Architecture, and Scenography. Joseph refined his technique and graduated with these degrees from The Institute of Fine Arts in Beirut-Lebanon.

Maximizing every learning opportunity that he could get his hands on, Joseph has sought out a multitude of worldwide design workshops. To mention a few: Artera China Workshop between Yinchuan, Yizhou, and Shanghai, with a scenography specialist of technology in the set design field. Powered by Arab Theatre Institute, Accademia di Brera di Milano’s workshop with Prof. Enzo Gagliardi in scenography and art direction… including lighting and set design for TV Shows, theatre plays, concerts, and fashion shows and certification by Masquespacio Valencia Spain, with Soy Ana Hernandez Creative Interior design consulting for restaurants.

When Joseph isn’t creating something beautiful for the screen, stage, or store, he is exploring his own creative passions in large-scale oil and acrylic painting (see his work attached), sketching, photography, travel, and most importantly dreaming. Exploring emotions and sensitivity is the basis of Joseph’s artistic expression and he believes that they give him heightened attention to smaller details and a deeper design vision. He prefers to negotiate with papers, ideas, concepts…

His home country of Lebanon, rich with nature and wildlife, acts as a primary source of inspiration. In addition, he draws inspiration from the greats; Tadao Ando is his favorite architect, who he credits with helping him understand the fusion of lighting and architecture to emphasize sensation and physical experiences. Reveling in its joy and happiness, Joseph’s favorite place in the world is Disneyland. Having already visited 3 times, he hopes to make it 30 one day.

The top of the list for Joseph is to finish traveling the world – he has 19 countries checked off (creds) – but is always yearning for his next adventure into new cultures.
