Hani Mahmoud is an intuitive artist based in Mississauga, Ontario.
Though formally trained as an engineer, Hani continued his artistic practice in parallel. He trained under Dr. Farouk Wahba and later acted as an art instructor at the L'atelier D'Alexandrie Art School. His artistic training continued internationally through studies in Classical Animation at Sheridan College and Classical & Computer Animation at Vancouver Film School.
Working intuitively from observation using pastels and mixed media, Hani seeks to reveal the quiet rhythms and shifting energy that animate the world around us. Through layers of lines, colours, and form, his work invites viewers to slow down, look more closely, and discover movements within stillness.
Hani's work is held in private collections across Canada, Egypt, and the US.
