ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Now part of the permanent collection of Dafen Museum, Shenzhen - China. Oil on canvas. Signed on the back. This painting is not available for prints on this website or elsewhere, so you will be the sole and unique owner of this work. I made this painting because I saw some photos of Cairo in the early 20th century, so I was inspired to make one in black and white. I wanted to say something about the cultural mix of Egypt at the time. To the right you see an Egyptian woman and two kids, whereas to the left you see a foreign man. Back at the time locals and foreigners co-existed in piece and foreigners had many businesses in Cairo. The shop behind the lady is titled in English as we had many of those. I hope it gives the viewer a feeling of authenticity and originality and maybe take them back to a time we did not witness. I made it in black and white to ascertain the idea of "old time", and I did not focus of the facial details as I wanted to assert the identity. The painting is painted black through the edges, so no need to frame it.

I am a visual artist; born and raised in Cairo - Egypt, and currently based in Cairo. After a long career in banking, I discovered my passion for art and therefore moved to London in 2016 to study Masters in fine art - painting at University of the Arts London. Since 2017, my works were included in a number of group exhibitions in Egypt, UK, China and India. In addition, I joined a number of international biennales among which “Dafen International Oil Biennale” in China, and “Ars Electronica” in Austria, and was selected for the Chisinau International Oil Biennale in Moldova. My works are included in several private and public collections in the USA, UK, China, Greece and the Arab Republic of Egypt. My works are among the permanent collection of Dafen Museum in China, the Children Museum in Cairo, Egypt and COPELOUZOS Family Museum in Greece. In 2021, my works were acquired in a public auction in London for the benefit of eliminating hepatitis C from the UK. My first solo show was in July 2017 at the Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau in London, whereas my second solo show was in Cairo in February 2019. And my third solo show was in December 2022 in Shagaret El Dor Restaurant in Cairo. I am being represented by Janet Rady Fine Art gallery in London and Singulart of France. All works are signed and dated on reverse. I also studied neuroscience with Harvard which informed my current body of work.
