He moved to Italy after being awarded a scholarship to the Faculty of Fine Arts in Rome, from which he obtained a diploma in painting in 1970. He subsequently taught at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Alexandria, where he became Director of the Painting Department. Alexandria was an important place for his artistic career, receiving first prize at its Biennials in 1962 and 1967. He exhibited his work at the fourth Paris Biennial of Youth, two of the Venice Biennales and three of the Sao Paulo, Brazil Biennials. Within his extensive experimentation of media, muralism became representative of his artistic practices and his murals can be found in residences, palaces and churches, such as St. George's Church, Sporting, Alexandria.
