Nagib Karsan

Born in Tanzania in 1995, Nagib spent his childhood years in Africa and then attended boarding school in the UK.

 

Enjoying art from an early age he undertook a six-month course in Kenya before embarking on a varied career in business.

 

In the late 1990’s he found time to rediscover his interest in art and explored a wide variety of mixed media and techniques. He found his inspiration in the work of Frank Webb and in the style and design of impressionism, producing the majority of his work in watercolour.

 

He is now painting regularly and using an unusual technique. Nagib first applies a collage of printed cut paper to the image surface, both before and during the application of paint. This creates a most unusual and unique finish that is so much a part of his trademark.
