==Biography==
Yazan Halwani was born on the 17th May 1993 in Beirut, Lebanon. The Lebanese Civil War had taken its toll on the city, and large parts of the city were destroyed.
In 2007, Yazan started experimenting with graffiti after being influenced by French Hiphop music, notably IAM (band). In 2011, Yazan decided to change his style and create a mural style that is independent of the west, by leveraging Arabic calligraphy and portraits of Arab people. He frequently reports that his shift in style was accompanied by a shift in attitude: "Graffiti has a strong connotation of vandalism, but in my city most people do vandalism: Lebanese Civil War, corrupt politicians. This is why I try to make my murals a constructive expression of the city."〔http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/06/qa-calligraphy-meets-street-art-beirut-150616064634855.html〕
Yazan has studied Computer and Communication Engineering at the American University of Beirut and graduated with a Bachelor in 2015〔https://now.mmedia.me/lb/en/reportsfeatures/yazan-halwani-is-painting-our-city〕
