I was walking in Hamra one day with my uncle and cousins and we stopped at this exhibition in a small gallery. What stopped me to look closer was this piece below, with its arabic calligraphy like patterns surrounding a face in the painting. To a foreigner it may appear as a pattern, but to me it appeared as arabic typography.

It reminded me of the image above that i scanned from my book: Arabic Graffiti by Pascal Zoghbi
