Mahmoud Talaat

Mahmoud Talaat is an Egyptian artist and photographer who was born in 1996 in Cairo. He trained at the Department of Painting at Helwan University’s Faculty of Fine Arts, graduating in 2020. Mahmoud draws inspiration from his daily experiences, and uses a combination of photography and painting to incorporate multiple dimensions and layers into single works of conceptual art that explore his roots and recollections of people and places who are or were essential to his life. The results are often characterised by ambiguity, and have been presented at various galleries and fairs including Cairo Photo Week (2021) and the Ubuntu Art Gallery (2021).
