Contemporary Art by Egyptian Women. Collected Worldwide.
Fann Gallery is a women-owned contemporary art platform dedicated to presenting the work of Egyptian women artists to a global audience.
Inspired by Egypt’s cultural depth and expressed through contemporary practice, we curate original artworks that convey powerful personal and social narratives—works created to be collected, lived with, and remembered.
Fann is the Arabic word for art. It reflects our belief that art is not decoration, but expression, identity, and legacy. This philosophy guides our commitment to presenting Egyptian women artists as essential contributors to contemporary culture.
We envision a global art world in which women-led narratives from Egypt move confidently across borders, entering private collections, museums, and art histories with the visibility, value, and respect they deserve.
Our vision extends beyond exhibition.
It is a commitment to legacy—ensuring that these artworks are professionally curated, rigorously documented, and preserved across generations as cultural records of their time.

Art tells the stories of women. And women change the world.
Founder’s Vision
I have always believed that art is not meant to be hidden.
Living closely with paintings taught me how deeply art shapes who we are — how it carries memory, identity, and emotional truth across time. That understanding changed my life, and it shaped a question I could not ignore:
What is the value of art if it is never shared?
And what is the value of an artist if their work is never collected?
I believe artists deserve more than admiration — they deserve recognition, sustainability, and a place in cultural history.
Fann Gallery was founded to affirm that belief.
I created Fann as a global platform dedicated to Egyptian women artists — not only to exhibit their work, but to ensure it is valued, collected, and preserved. Selling art is not a compromise of integrity; it is how art enters homes, institutions, and lives, where it can truly be experienced and remembered.
My mission is to support artists in claiming their worth and to connect collectors with work that carries meaning, authenticity, and cultural depth.
Fann Gallery exists because art deserves a future — and artists deserve to build one.
To my parents, who taught me that art is the language of the soul — this is for you.
