Painting and Colors are an Expression of Nubian Joy
Since the dawn of time, Nubians love artwork, and they express their feelings and love for the beautiful nature that surrounds their villages - the deep blue Nile river, the deep green palm trees and the yellowish mountains in paintings and decoration of all objects they produce, up to the sailing boats - the famous Feluccas - that allow them to travel on the Nile.
Nubians love to express their traditions, their way of life, the nature they love and scenes from their daily life, be it on the walls of their homes, on public spaces or on paintings. In accordance to the simplicity of their lifestyle, Nubian paintings are often abstracted and painted in stylized figures impregnating the viewer with a deep and lasting impression of the profound poetic message of nobility and dignity rooted on Nubian history and heritage their paintings are transmitting.
In our time, as any information - including art - is mainly transmitted electronically, several taleted Nubian painters and designers move to the Internet to promulgate their artwork, including graphic design and home decoration. We encourage young Nubians to develop their creativity benefiting from the numberless online lessons (some are available on our young visitors page ) and learning from the paintings by the outstanding Nubian artists exhibited on this page, and to embrace an artistic career contributing to the great Nubian art.

Doctor Farid Fadhel Hanna Murkus
Artist Dr. Farid Fadel Hanna Murkus - الفنان فريد فاضل حنا مرقس
Doctor Farid Fadhel is an extraordinary artist combining his knowledge of human feelings, anatomy and expression to display not only the aspect of his personalities, but also their soul. He combines art and medicine to express people's lives and feelings, their joy, pain and suffering. That's why he manages to represent not only Nubian colors and beautiful nature, but also the innermost Nubian existence. Although he didn't grow up in Nubia, he artfully represents the Nubians' sadness over the loss of their beloved lands drowned in the floods of Lake Nasser.
