About the work

Feluccas glide across a tranquil stretch of the Nile at dusk, their white sails catching the last of a warm golden light that bathes the water and distant hillside. The loose, luminous washes of watercolor create a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere that perfectly captures the timeless calm of Egypt's great river.

Mohammad Alterawi

Egypt

Mohammad Al-Tarawy (August 10, 1956 – February 23, 2022) was an Egyptian artist renowned for his work in graphic arts and watercolor painting. A graduate of the Faculty of Fine Arts in Cairo in 1980, he received an honorary doctorate from the Technical Academy in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, in 2005. Al-Tarawy was a member of several professional organizations, including the Syndicate of Fine Artists and the Journalists Syndicate. He served as a press illustrator for the Rosa Al-Youssef Foundation and was the editor-in-chief of "Fantasy" magazine.

Throughout his career, Al-Tarawy held numerous solo exhibitions, such as "Egyptian Watercolors" at Al Shomoua Gallery in 1994 and "Visions of the Place" at Doroub Gallery in 2000. His work often explored themes of place and memory, with a particular focus on Egyptian landscapes and the role of women in society. In 2015, he presented "She" at the Museum of Modern Egyptian Art, followed by "They" in 2017 and "Be You" in 2021.

Al-Tarawy's artistic approach was deeply influenced by his connection to Egypt's natural environment, frequently depicting scenes of water and earth. He believed that art was a spiritual necessity, aiming to translate his emotions and experiences into visual forms that resonated with the collective human experience.
