About The Artist


I'm a British/Egyptian artist residing in the UK, I like to explore Surrealist, abstract and conceptual painting approaches, I also have a passion for painting portraits. I don’t restrict myself to any particular medium or method of painting. Throughout my work I try to bring forth stories, moments in time, to capture a memory or feeling.
