Anachar Basbous was born in 1969, in Rachana, Lebanon. The son of renowned sculptor Michel Basbous, Anachar, was introduced to art at a very young age. He graduated from the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts et des Metiers d’Art in Paris, majoring in architectural wall design. Upon his return to Lebanon in 1992, he opened his sculpture workshop in Rachana, a village hosting an open-air sculpture museum created by the Basbous family of sculptures, his father Michel and uncles, Alfred and Joseph Basbous.  In 2008 he was commissioned to create a ten-meter bronze memorial site in memory of the assassinated Prime Minister Rafic Hariri. In his works, Basbous sculpts geometric forms and connects them to erect an architectural shape that establishes a discourse with its environment and interacts with the sunlight. His sculptures, made of parts, seem like moving in the space while questioning dichotomies: gravity and magnetism, body and soul.

The artist mostly works with wood, metal, and stone. He still lives in Rachana, where he continues to create.
