KARIM EL NOUR

I am a Munich based visual artist drawn to quiet moments where images drift between reality and abstraction. For over a decade I have explored photography and media design in search of images that reach beyond the purely visible, pictures that invite 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 captivated by a raw, unpolished kind of beauty that feels both direct and distant, where honesty meets rhythm and form. Faces dissolve into fragments, stories surface through contrast and framing quietly bends the conventions of portraiture.

Muted monochromes rest softly while sudden bursts of color appear like memories. Textures hint at something tangible, allowing me to deconstruct expression and rebuild it into new forms. More than likeness I seek atmosphere, the pause in a glance, the weight of silence, the quiet story that unfolds between one breath and the next.
