About

Maryanna Mansour is an Egyptian artist whose relationship with painting began not in a classroom, but in the quiet act of looking — at people, at light, at the objects that populate ordinary life and carry extraordinary weight.

Formally trained at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy, she arrived there already fluent in the language of observation, having spent years teaching herself to see the way painters see. Her time in Florence deepened her mastery of classical technique: the patient layering of oil, the discipline of the drawn line, the respect for what is actually there.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Translation — an education that shaped her belief that every image is a sentence, and every painting a story told without words.

Today, Maryanna works from her studio creating portraits, still lifes, and drawings that move between the warmth of her Egyptian roots and the precision of the European classical tradition. Her work invites the viewer to slow down and truly look — to find, in the familiar, something they have never quite seen before.
