Born in 1956 in the coastal town of Monsef, near Byblos, his art is influenced by the colors of the sea.

He sold his first works, four portraits of his mother, at the age of 12 to a French passerby. Fattouh joined the National Institute of the Lebanese University's Faculty of Fine Arts and received his degree in Fine Arts with honors in 1983. Ever since, he has been a prolific artist.

He has had numerous exhibitions in Lebanon and internationally. Fattouh's works are on permanent exhibition at his atelier in Monsef and regularly presented at the Autumn exhibition of the Sursok Museum in Beirut.
