Adham masters using oil colors in his paintings that are full of delight and joy despite the
sharp lines that characterizes his works.
As Adham grew up in Upper Egypt, it has a clear impact on his artistic personality and it
reflects in his paintings where we find a mix between the vivid rural life and the tough
mountain nature, as well as he was surrounded by walls of temples and archaeological and
historical cities, on which is inscribed the foundation of the Egyptian art.
He settles in Cairo in 2011 and works in the field of plastic art administration and in the
coordination of art exhibitions. The social and cultural life of the city affected his artistic
vision, as well as his career in the field of arts administration.
Adham is always looking for the link keys between the past and the present, the new
influences and the old habits, and translates it in his artworks with a contemporary vision.
