MARWAN SHAHIN
Born in Alexandria, Egypt in 1990 and now based in Los Angeles, Marwan Shahin is a visual artist, designer, and creative director whose multidisciplinary practice bridges ancient iconography and contemporary culture. Drawing from popular mythology, social commentary, identity, prejudice, and the evolving meaning of symbols, Shahin creates layered narratives that connect the past with the present. Drawing from more than 5,000 years of Egyptian creative traditions, he reinterprets ancestral visual language through painting, sculpture, drawing, design, and printmaking while documenting the realities and contradictions of contemporary life. His work has been exhibited internationally and is held in institutional collections including Weltmuseum Wien.
