Egypt

"My work is characterised by the variation of colours applied in layers like washes, creating ghostly appearances to his figures and scenes. Movement in my paintings is created by my controlled chaos of lines, perfectly placed yet wildly expressive."

Emad Ibrahim

Born and raised in this vibrant city, Emad's artistic journey has been one of dedication, innovation, and profound artistic expression. His talents have earned him not only national acclaim but also international recognition through a multitude of distinctions and exhibitions that have captivated audiences around the world.

Emad's works of art, each a masterpiece in its own right, have found a place in private collections, including that of the Minister of Culture, a testament to the artist's profound impact on Egypt's cultural landscape. His creations are not confined to gallery walls; they extend into the very fabric of Egypt's artistic heritage.

One of Emad's most notable achievements was the creation of a stunning set for the opera "One Thousand and One Nights," an awe-inspiring testament to his ability to transport audiences to fantastical realms through his art. This breathtaking visual spectacle brought the magic of the tales to life at the iconic Gomhouriah Theatre in Cairo, leaving an indelible mark on all who witnessed it.

In addition to his theatrical triumph, Emad's artistry has graced the luxurious spaces of the Four Seasons Hotels in Sharm El Sheikh, where he painted a mural that adds an extra layer of splendor to this idyllic seaside retreat.

Emad Ibrahim is more than an artist; he is a maestro, conducting a symphony of colors and emotions on the canvas of life in Egypt. His work not only reflects the beauty and vibrancy of his homeland but also elevates it to new heights through his creative vision.
