Born in Rachana, the youngest of three brothers, Joseph Basbous instinctively followed the call of the mallet and chisel, honing his skills since childhood in a family where stone carving came naturally. With remarkable capacity and sensitivity, he initially worked as a stone mason and later assisted his brothers in executing their own artistic endeavors. Joseph Basbous followed the non-figurative path pioneered by Michel Basbous in Lebanon, working with simplicity and guided by his instincts.
