Rashid Diab
Rashid Diab (Template:Lang-ar, Wad Madani, Sudan, 1957) is a Sudanese painter and visual artist.[1]
He studied at the School of Fine and Applied Arts in Khartoum, from which he graduated in 1978 with honours.[2] Sponsored by a scholarship from the government of Spain, he continued his studies at the Complutense University of Madrid, and submitted his PhD thesis on the ‘Philosophy of Sudanese Art’ in 1991.[3]
Back in Khartum since 1999, Diab works as a painter, art teacher and director of his own artistic center.[4][5][6] His work has been widely exhibited and included in private collections.[7]
The Encyclopedia of African History describes Diab's colourful style as an exemplification of the generation of artists that followed Sudanese pioneers like Ibrahim El Salahi, and "developed a more universal aesthetic, that merges Western, African, and Islamic influences and expresses cultural identity in a global context."[8]
