Biography

Dorian grew up in Switzerland where be obtained his teaching and art degrees. Since Switzerland was not his country of choice he moved to England. The decades he lived there proved to be his most formative years in terms of identity and artistic expression. After a first attempt at living in Egypt followed by his return to England he settled in Cairo in 2007. Dorian has been painting and had several solo and group shows here. Having completed a series with arches and passages he has embarked on a new series with vases, captured in the play between light and shadow.
