Born in Cairo in 1972, Youssef Nabil lives and works between Paris and New York. His work explores the memory and cinematic imagination nourished by the films of his childhood in Egypt. Inspired by technicolour processes, he takes black-and-white photographs which he then colours by hand, giving each print a unique dimension.
His work has been the subject of numerous exhibitions in major international institutions such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Centre Pompidou and the British Museum. In 2020/2021, he enjoyed a major retrospective at Palazzo Grassi, entitled Once Upon A Dream, establishing his work on the international art scene.
