Britt BOUTROS-GHALI

A world-renowned artist, Britt follows in the tradition of abstract expressionist and colorfield pioneers such as Helen Frankenthaler and Joan Mitchell, bringing a unique energy to her dynamic, large-scale paintings.

Born in Norway in 1937, Britt’s art is deeply influenced by the dramatic light of her homeland and her formative experiences during World War II. For over five decades, she has lived and worked in Egypt, drawing inspiration from its rich culture and history. Her powerful works embody the spirit of action painting, balancing structure with spontaneity.

From her studios in Cairo and Agami, Britt creates vibrant, expressive works, while her home serves as a gathering place for artists and collectors alike. Since 1962, her work has been exhibited worldwide and is held in prestigious collections. She has been honored with Norway’s Order of St. Olav and Egypt’s 2023 Lifetime Achievement Award for Women in the Arts—recognition of her profound impact on contemporary painting. The demand for her work is more fervent than ever as she continues to break boundaries and capture the hearts of art enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
