Moataz Nasr, a renowned self-taught artist, decided to follow his passion and abandon his early career in business. He started with a studio in Old Cairo after moving from his hometown of Alexandria. Nasr gained local recognition marked by numerous awards before bursting onto the international art scene in 2001, notably winning the Grand Prix at the 8th Cairo International Biennial. Since then he has participated in major international exhibitions such as the Venice, Seoul, São Paulo and Bogota Biennales. Today he is considered one of the leading representatives of contemporary pan-Arab art. Showcasing the complex cultural processes currently taking place in the Islamic world, his work transcends idiosyncrasies and geographical boundaries and gives voice to the anxieties and torments of the African continent. The sense of belonging to a specific geopolitical and cultural context and the need to maintain a connection with one's homeland are key elements of the artist's life and work. Moataz Nasr believes that art and life are inseparable. Moataz Nasr is considered one of the most important representatives of contemporary pan-Arab art. Together with artists of his generation, in 1998 he founded Townhouse in Cairo, the first independent exhibition space in the country's history. Winning the Grand Prize of the 8th Cairo International Biennial in 2001 established him as an international artist. Group exhibitions include "The See Is My Land," curated by Francesco Bonomi and Emanuela Mazzonis (MAXXI, Rome, 2013); "Arab Contemporary Architecture, Culture, and Identity" (Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, 2014); "Metropolis. Afriques Capitales," curated by Simon Njami (La Villette, Paris, 2017); "Senses of Time: Video and Film-based Arts of Africa" (LACMA and The Smithsonian National Museum of African Arts, Washington, DC, 2017); Yinchuan Biennale, curated by Marco Scotini (Yinchuan, 2018), International Contemporary Art Exhibition, curated by Mazdak Faiznia (Yerevan, 2018).In 2017 he was selected to represent Egypt during the 57th Venice Biennale. The work presented in the Egyptian Pavilion was an immersive installation showing the original film "The Mountain." In 2018, Nasr was invited to participate in "Abu Dhabi Art 2018 Beyond" and create a site-specific work in Al Ain's historic sites. In 2019 he was invited to take part in the Havana Biennial and participated in Fiac Hors Les Murs with the installation of the work Sun Boat at Les Tuileries. Recent solo exhibitions include, in 2019, "The Liminal Space," at Castel del Monte, Andria, curated by Achille Bonito Oliva, and "Paradise Lost" at Galleria Continua, San Gimignano, curated by Simon Njami. In 2021 Moataz Nars won the "AVIFF-Art Film Festival" award in Cannes with the original film "The Mountain." In 2023 he participated with an impressive work in the inaugural edition of the Islamic Arts Biennial: Awwal Bait.
