Born in 1970, Egyptian artist Mohamed Khedr has been painting and creating art his whole life. His style includes realism and impressionism, however he uses those schools to portray scenes not commonly seen with the European greats, thus Cairo life and Egyptian singers, thinkers, and heroes are often the focus of his work. “It is important to know the classics as well as the contemporary schools before breaking the rules and finding one’s own style,” he says. Nevertheless, Mohamed closely follows both classical and contemporary paths
