He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and then returned to Egypt. The artist then became close to the "Art and Freedom" movement, a surrealist group founded around the poet George HENEIN (1914-1973) and the manifesto "Long live degenerate art" in 1938. His painting evolves from figurative to abstract. He then moved to Paris in 1946 and pushed his research on abstraction to the monochrome in his "Research of the void", Ezechiel BAROUKH will return thereafter to the figurative.
