Literature

Adel El Siwi, an Egyptian painter, weaves narratives rooted in identity, place, and history. A self-proclaimed 'Son of the City,' El Siwi’s work reflects his deep connection to Cairo, capturing the spirit of a metropolis shaped by its layered past. While his travels have broadened his perspective, his paintings on view are anchored in Egypt—its geography, spirituality, and its cultural ties to the African continent. El Siwi’s work situates the self as both local and expansive, mapping identity through shared histories and a sense of belonging that transcends borders.
