Ibrahim El Tanbouli has earned great acclaim for his body of work that is centered around his perceptions of traditional Egyptian life. Using a unique palette, El Tanbouli explores human connections through lucid figures, striking shapes, and brilliant color contrasts. A master of composition, El Tanbouli creates beautiful context with the simplest lines.

Born in Alexandria in 1954, El Tanbouli has held several private and group exhibitions in Egypt, Germany, Jordan, Italy, and Denmark. He also represented Egypt at the Carthage Festival in Tunisia, organized by ECUME for Mediterranean countries. His works can also be found in the private collections of companies and individuals in Egypt, Jordan, German, Italy, England, Denmark, USA, and Saudi Arabia, and Tunisia. He has received several prizes, including the Alexandria University and the Ministry of Higher Education's awards for all Egyptian Universities and Fekr wa Fan Gallery’s Salon prize. His paintings can be found in the permanent collections of the Egyptian Museum of Modern Art in Cairo; the Royal Museum of Jordan in Amman; and the National Museum of Tunisia.
