Considering Art Podcast – Britt Boutros-Ghali, painter
Description
Britt Boutros-Ghali was born in Norway but for the past five decades has lived in Egypt having married into one of the country’s foremost families. Her emotional abstracts and figurative expressionism are much sought after and she has been awarded with the Lifetime Achievement Award for Women in the Arts by the Egyptian government. In this episode, she talks about her upbringing in Norway, how a move to Paris kickstarted her artistic career, her relocation to Egypt, how she paints every day with no plan and with many layers, how an exhibition in Norway in 2005 was marred by an unfortunate incident, and how she is striving to paint a masterpiece.
