Souad Abdel Rassoul, born in Cairo, Egypt, in 1974, is a prominent artist and academic whose work delves into African figurative art forms. She incorporates elements of folklore and the dynamic interactions between people, animals, and plants. This fusion results in a distinctive re-imagination of the human form.

Souad earned her undergraduate degree in Fine Arts from El Minya University in 1998, followed by a master’s in History of Art in 2005 and a PhD in Modern Art History in 2012. Her artistic practice spans drawing, painting, sculpture, and graphic design, with her work showcased extensively in exhibitions across Egypt since 1998.

In addition to her art, Souad designs book covers and children's books and conducts art workshops for children both in Egypt and internationally. She continues to live and work in Cairo, where she merges her artistic creations with her dedication to art education.
