A life-long resident of Cairo, 33-year-old Hani Rashid trained at fellow Egyptian artist Mohamed Abla’s atelier for a decade before venturing off on his own creative path in 2003.

Over the past dozen years Hany Rashid has produced an extremely original body of work. Using the technique of monotype on black-and-while and color, he produces sketches compounded of allusions to classic oriental imaginary as well as a more personal inspiration, conjuring up interior spaces and tormented visions of people and society. His work examines the relationship between East and West in his faceless repetitive figures.
