Born in Damascus in 1956, Suleiman Joukhadar brought together the refinement of the court of England and the nobility of Orleans with the grandeur of the Ottoman Empire. While very young, he discovered his artistic gifts and powers of observation worthy of a freethinking “man of the Renaissance”. He provides a fresh perspective on art and how to understand it. His discovery of the identity of the Mona Lisa confirms his exceptional psychological and philosophical aptitudes.
