Mostafa Moftah is a conceptual fine artist born and raised in Cairo, Egypt.
He is a painter, a musician, a graphic designer and a self-taught photographer.
He graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Cairo University in 1977.
He has exhibited his paintings at many group and solo Art shows.
His paintings are in the collections of the National Museum of Contemporary
Arts. He studied classical guitar in his teens with an Italian teacher
"Salvatore Passaro" and played in a rock band for three years.

Mostafa has worked in advertising for 28 years. He was an art director for
many leading advertising agencies in Cairo including Leo Burnett. As well as
graphic design, he directed TV commercials, and wrote music and lyrics for
some of them. Later he ran his own graphic arts studio serving many
organizations including: American Express, UNICEF, Renault to name a few.

He started taking photos to help his paintings, bought dark-room equipment
and taught himself how to develop film and print photos. Eventually, he fell in
love with photography as a tool to express himself. 30 years later, he decided
to quit his advertising career to devote his entire time to photography while
also finding time to paint and create music. He has chosen the creativity in
photography over painting and music because it gives him what he was
looking for all his life: a sense of freedom as well as responsibility.
