Gehan Seoude
(جيهان سعود)Egypt
Gehan Seoude is a contemporary Egyptian painter known for her vivid expressionist works that capture the female form, blending European and Egyptian artistic styles. Initially focusing on landscapes and natural themes, her practice evolved to explore pharaonic aspects of Egyptian heritage, eventually adopting a more personal approach centered on contemporary portraiture and the female form. Her acrylic paintings, heavily influenced by European expressionist traditions, are deeply rooted in Egyptian identity, with a palette that theatrically complements the drama in her compositions.

A member of the Syndicate of Fine Arts, she has exhibited extensively since graduating in 2002, showcasing her work in workshops and solo and group exhibitions throughout Egypt and abroad.
