Barakat is one of these very imaginative abstract painters on the international stage with galleries in Beverly Hills, London and Abu Dhabi. His passion for art of the past and present (as artist, collector and fourth generation classical antiquities dealer) has made him a highly desired favorite of celebrities and the super-wealthy.

​

Barakat’s passionate paintings explode with emotion as if they are his DNA prints, exuding a rare intensity and power.  Aspiring to raise the consciousness of the viewer, he expresses his interpretation of ancient, culturally-rich art through emotional channels to create abstract paintings of the “Now.”  With his ability to grasp the internal and manifest the external, Barakat conveys to us a new world of peace and tranquility by transferring messages of enlightenment through form and color.
