The Hike - Pathway, 2026

Ingy Zahran  

Ingy Zahran (b. 1985, Cairo, Egypt) is an Egyptian contemporary abstract artist living and working in Cairo. Her artistic practice is shaped by an unusual dialogue between engineering precision and intuitive expression.

Holding a Master of Science in Engineering and an MBA in Project Management, Zahran spent years working in technical design before dedicating herself fully to painting. Although self-taught, she has developed a distinctive visual language that seamlessly combines geometric structure with organic movement, reflecting the balance between analytical thinking and emotional freedom.

Working primarily with acrylics and mixed media, Zahran creates layered compositions that explore rhythm, depth, and human connection. Her paintings shift between architectural forms and fluid abstractions, inviting viewers into spaces where order and spontaneity coexist. Rather than presenting fixed narratives, her works remain open to interpretation, encouraging personal reflection through color, texture, and light.

Her work has been presented in group exhibitions, including the Empower Her Art Forum at the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Capital Business Park exhibition in Cairo, as well as internationally at World Art Dubai with Artezaar Gallery.

Based in her independent studio in Cairo, Zahran continues to expand her practice through large-scale abstract paintings while preparing new bodies of work for international exhibitions and gallery collaborations.
