An accomplished and prolific artist, Ali Bayoumi entered Alexandria University's Faculty of Architecture in 1973, graduating with honours in 1978. He went on to earn a Masters degree in 1985 and his PhD in 1993. He collaborated with Dr Mohammed Said Farsi (then mayor of Jeddah), who commissioned him to design 22 large scale sculptures for his renowned public art project in the city.
Bayoumi's paintings can be found in the King Abd El Aziz University and the Saudi National Bank in Jeddah, whilst his murals adorn Alexandria's train station and the entrance to the Mahmoudia Canal. Many of his paintings are also in private collections in Egypt, Kuwait, Germany and the United States.
