Bio

Omar Radwan is a Cairo-based artist working primarily in graphite and pastel. His work explores the human figure as a site of solitude, silence, and existential tension.

His drawings are realistic but not hyper-realistic, often focusing on quiet, suspended human moments — figures caught in inward attention, removed from spectacle.

Drawn to the language of classical figure study and the atmosphere of late-19th-century European drawing, he uses monochrome surfaces to slow the viewer down and bring weight to ordinary postures.
