About
Laila Azmi and Nour Hussein are two young artists that are bringing to the Cairo art scene a new form of art- Contemporary Mix media. Their work blends photography, painting, and architectural conceptualisation into a unique form that tells beautiful stories of “Life in the City”. They are inspired by the long forgotten Egyptian crafts of – photography, hand-painting & glass painting - adding a contemporary twist to that age old forms of art.
Born and raised in Cairo, with formal studies in architectural engineering, Laila and Nour follow a scientific technique in making their artwork. The end result is a layered piece of work comprised of mixed elements such as translucent prints, watercolours, golden leaves and vibrant acrylic brush strokes reacting with artificial and daylight creating a whole new experience.
Laila and Nour have set out to bring a new renaissance to this art form; telling stories about a city as old as time.
