Ismail El Helou Follow Artist

B.1955

The simplified imagery and naïve traits of his subjects recall the expressionist school to which Ismail El Helou belongs and his architecture background. He is considered a follower of the Kayyali and Seba’i schools. The present work is a prime example of his Mediterranean colour palette. El Helou studied Plastic Arts in Homs, before graduating from the University of Aleppo in Urban Architecture.
