The San Gimignano watercolor painter: Critical Acclaim

“Mamdoh Badran is an artist of deep sensations that emerge both in the themes and in the balanced harmonies of his watercolors. Inspirational works expressed through unsettling ancestral forms alternate with landscapes and views of our lands and villages—at times almost photographic, at other times evanescent, tending toward that almost primordial reality that pervades much of the artist’s work.”
Luciano Cosimo

“Mamdoh Badran, the extraordinarily talented Egyptian artist, once told me that when he paints, it is akin to a meditation process: he sets aside his conscious mind and lets the process flow through him. If, at any moment, he interrupts the fantasy with conscious thought to analyze what he is creating, the connection is broken.”
