Born in Alexandria in 1943, Moustafa began his studies in 1961 in the Faculty of Fine Arts and Architecture at Alexandria University. He then established a prominent reputation as a figurative painter in Egypt, before continuing his training in London, where he received a Master’s degree and doctorate from St. Martin’s College of Art and Design. It was during this period of research that Moustafa’s inspiration shifted focus to Islam’s highest art form: calligraphy. His visually arresting penmanship has been translated into the media of painting, stained glass, silkscreen and tapestries. Since 1974, Moustafa has resided in London and in 1983 he founded the Fe-Noon Ahmed Moustafa Research Centre for Arab Art and Design. £500-800 + 27.6% BP*
