Mahmoud' s artistic career has spanned over five decades.Although he began as a figurative painter, his true
genius as an artist was realized in the early 90's when he began to paint
still life's.He considers his
meticulously painted still life's, the most mature works of his artistic
career.Beneath layers of oil
Mahmoud' s work reveals his life through mimetic imagery in what the artist
concludes is a game of pretense.His
paintings engage the viewer in the act of discovering what is real and what is
not and maintain a constant tension between fantasy and reality.
