Abdel Rasoul was born in 1917 in Egypt and was a pioneering figure in the folk art school of painting. Throughout his career, he was fascinated by the symbols and motifs of folk art, which served as the primary inspiration for his early artistic endeavors.
Abdel Rasoul's unique approach to painting is what makes his works truly stand out. He blends ancient Egyptian, Arab Islamic, and folk Egyptian motifs to create original and contemporary pieces of art. His meticulous attention to detail and skilful use of colour and composition make his paintings truly captivating.
