Biography

Roland an artist living and creating works of art in Cairo, Egypt for eight years now has mainly been concentrating on painting. His work focuses on the landscape both urban and suburban, more recently the urban landscape. Just recently he completed a series of work in watercolours that reflect march of development that surrounds his Maadi home. He has created many portable sculptures that have derived from the theme of recycling. An old organ dismantled and turned into a variety of sculptures, one large one in front of the Church of St John’s, Maadi. Many other pieces turned into illuminated sculptures and useful items such as tables. His work has travelled the World and is in many countries around the World.
