Fathi Afifi

Born in Egypt

Technique / Inspiration

Afifi seeks to reflect reality. His paintings reflect how Egyptians’ daily routine has become mechanical and impersonal. Bold brush strokes, textured canvas and sketch-like technique convey the grittiness of streets and the transience of the perpetual movement of people and machines. Monotonous blank faces he paints show how masses can share little connection to their routine and those around them. He has participated in several solo and group exhibitions.

Artist Statement

Afifi’s practice reflects the mechanical nature of modern life, where routine and motion often replace human connection. Through bold strokes and faceless figures, he explores anonymity, detachment, and the quiet isolation embedded within crowded urban environments.
