ASHEKMAN Awesome new Mural in Baalbeck

ASHEKMAN teamed up with a local independent NGO in Baalbeck and came up with one awesome mural honoring Lebanon's titans Fairouz, Sabah and Wadih el Safi. The aim was to beautify the city and the mural was executed close to the Temple of Bacchus. It took ASHEKMAN one month of preparation and 4 days of execution to get the job done.
