Sherif Makki

Sherif Makki is a painter with a classical oil painting background from the Faculty of Fine Arts, now working primarily in acrylic, and enriched by two decades as a Senior Art Director in Cairo, Doha, and Sydney. His restrained, contemporary figurative style hinges on disciplined composition, where figures arise from controlled color and shadow, inviting ambiguity and lingering psychological presence. Emotionally, his work quietly evokes the tensions of identity, belonging, and the silent endurance of being human within—and against—the pressures of society.
