André Arabis trained at the art college in Damascus, graduating in 1966. He later completed his training at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he graduated in 1982. In 1987 he was awarded a doctorate for his research into the comparative aesthetics between art with Islamic roots and Kinetic Art/Op-Art. His plastic work has always been abstract, based on geometry.
