Britt Boutros-Ghali is one of Egyptâs most celebrated contemporary artists and a world-class talent, following the tradition of abstract expressionist giants such as Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Mitchell, and Franz Kline.
Boutros-Ghali was born in 1937 in Svolvaer, in the Northern part of Norway, where the saturation of light in the summer was juxtaposed by the lack thereof in winter. She endured the harsh weather and daunting pressure of the Second World War. This emotional backdrop provided a fertile landscape for her bursting, colorful, and emotional work. Boutros-Ghali has spent the last five decades living and working in Egypt where she is an integral part of the country's artistic community.
Today, she divides her time between Cairo and Agami, maintaining studios in both locations. Her residence and studio in Agami, situated west of Alexandria along Egypt's northern coast, reflect her deep affection for the region. The artist compound is a living piece of art, infused with intricately crafted mosaics and murals. Local artists, collectors, and individuals with a taste for the unique frequently gather at her home, while art enthusiasts from around the world make the journey to meet her and acquire her work.
Boutros-Ghaliâs prolific career spans over six decades and includes both abstract and figurative works. Her paintings are charismatic and boldâexuberant celebrations of life, spirit, and dreamlike visions. She is widely regarded as one of the most important abstract painters in the Middle-East. She has built a truly impressive legacy, and the significance of her illustrious career has been recognized with three prestigious awards. In 1996, she received the St. Olav's Order, Norway's highest artistic honor, from King Haakon for her cultural and artistic contributions; a rare distinction also awarded to Edward Munch. In 2010, she was awarded the Slovak Presidential Order for Art and Culture. Yet, it is perhaps her 2023 Lifetime Achievement Award for Women in the Arts from the Egyptian government that resonates most deeply. A testament to her indelible impact on the artistic landscape of her adopted homeland, it serves as a fitting tribute to a lifetime devoted to creativity and expression.
Boutros-Ghaliâs work has garnered international acclaim. Since her debut exhibition in Paris in 1962, it has been exhibited worldwide, and her paintings are held in numerous private and public collections. The demand for her work is more fervent than ever. This year and next year all alone she will have three solo shows.

Boutros-Ghaliâs art, characterized by vibrant colors, abstract forms and large-scale energetic paintings, draws inspiration from Egypt's rich and exotic culture. Employing "action painting", her work embodies a sense of spontaneity and creativity. The physicality of her work is evident through her seasoned and competent use of materials â the subject and outcome are determined through methodical structure, yet spontaneous in the outcome, hence allowing for the nature of the materials and her use of them to unfold and tell their mysteries.
âI always start by putting all my colors around me. Then I just let things happen. I really donât have any idea of what Iâm going to do. Everything to start feels a little chaotic and then I slowly make order from the chaos and give it structure. Sometimes Iâm not even aware of what Iâm doing.ââBritt Boutros-Ghali
