Ayyad Alnimer

I was born and raised in Egypt. I received my BA with honors from the Fine Arts Academy in Cairo. Immediately after graduation, I relocated to Jordan with my wife and began my artistic career. I also taught art for 10 years; published a number of books about teaching art and drawing which were incorporated into the curriculum of many schools in Amman, Jordan, and published art critiques in the local newspapers as an educational contribution to the public. While still living in Jordan I established my own gallery, Akhenaton Gallery in 1986, benefiting the revival of the art movement there for two years, before I came to the United States in 1989.​

As an Egyptian artist living in Jordan, I began exhibiting my paintings. My artwork was modern and contemporary and quickly appealed to the Jordanian public. I held many solo and group exhibitions some of which I mentioned in my biography. Her Majesty Queen Noor Al Hussein of Jordan supported an exhibition of eight Jordanian artists I was one of, also acquiring one of my paintings from this exhibition. The Royal Highness Princess Wijdan Ali sponsored the opening of many of my exhibitions. ​

My artwork can be seen at the National Museum of Jordan and Arab Bank branches and a lot...
