KARIM EL NOUR

I am a Munich based photographer and visual artist interested in quiet moments where images move between reality and abstraction. For more than ten years I have been exploring photography and media design, searching for moments that go beyond the purely visible, images that leave space for questions, evoke subtle emotions and linger in the mind.

Light and shadow feel like a language to me, with structure and abstraction as its dialect. I am drawn to a raw, unpolished kind of beauty that feels both direct and distant, where honesty meets rhythm and form. Faces dissolve into fragments, stories emerge in contrasts and framing quietly bends the rules of portraiture.

Muted monochromes settle gently while sudden bursts of color appear like memories. Textures suggest something tangible, allowing me to deconstruct expression and rebuild it in new shapes. More than likeness, I seek atmosphere, the pause in a glance, the weight of silence, the quiet story between one breath and the next.
