About Me

Mohsen (Mo) Rifaat: Toronto, Canada; Mohsen was born in Egypt and has resided in Canada since 1968. He holds degrees in architecture and urban planning, and has enjoyed a wide-ranging career which has taken him to many far-away places. Although he spent his professional life in the business, government and diplomatic worlds, Mo has never been long removed from his love of art. He is deeply influenced by the work of his mother, Fatma Rifaat, the celebrated Egyptian artist. In recent years, he has specialized in watercolour renderings ranging from buildings and structures to still life and landscapes. Mo is a member of several Ontario artists' associations, and regularly holds pencil drawing and watercolour classes for beginner and advanced students. Currently his work is exhibited in art galleries in Canada, England and Egypt.
