I am an Egyptian artist based in Egypt. I started painting since I was a child. I earned my Fine Art degree in 2004, and completed my masters in art history in 2019 as I was obsessed by the Egyptian Art. My thesis was about The Abstraction in Ancient Egyptian Art and how it influenced the modern arts.

I started travelling inside my home country for 5 years to get inspiration from my home country. The objective in my painting is to revive the Egyptian culture.
