Biography
|
One of Egypt’s leading portrait and
landscape painters in oil, pastels, and
watercolor, Mansour has exhibited
internationally in the Middle East, Europe, and
the United States. Born in Cairo, Egypt, Mansour
studied at the Egyptian Art College, Madrassa El
Khoot El Arabia, and graduated with top honors
from the American University of Cairo (AUC). He
has participated in many solo and group
exhibitions and maintains a permanent collection
at his gallery: Mansour Gallery, 22 El Mansour
St, El Lasilki, Maadi, Cairo.
In addition, Mansour is represented in many
corporate, embassy, and private collections
worldwide. Recently the Coca Cola Corporation
commissioned 15 corporate paintings for their
regional offices in Cairo, Egypt, and 5 were
commissioned by the Oberoi Hotel chain. He is a

His work has been featured in The Egyptian Gazette,
the Middle East Times, El Kwakeb, Ahram News, El
Kzendreno (Italian Art Magazine), Nile TV, and Channel 1
TV, to name but a few.
His urge seems to be to express the essentials of
human life and the world around him as it appears. The
aim of Mansour’s paintings is to help people understand
and love the Egyptian way of life more deeply, and to
enrich their sense of the humanity and spirit. Mansour’s
paintings of Egyptian scenes and character studies are
like a passionate song of love for his beautiful land.
He is a virtuoso of color, spontaneous and elaborate,
displaying sheer dexterity and manipulative skills. In
every one of his paintings, be it oil, watercolor, or
pastel, he shows his great sensitivity and sincerity
towards life and nature. He is considered one of the
most prominent painters in the Middle East and his work
