Born in Tanzania in 1955, Nagib Karsan spent his childhood years in
Africa and boarding school in the UK. Enjoying art from an early age
he undertook a six-month course in Kenya before embarking on a varied
career in business. In the late 1990’s he found time to rediscover
his interest in art and explored a wide variety of mixed media and techniques.
Nagib Karsan found inspiration in the work of Frank Webb, in the style
of design impressionism, mostly in watercolour. He is now painting regularly
and uses an unusual technique by first applying a collage of printed
cut paper to the image surface before and during the application of
the paint. This creates a most unusual and unique finish that is so
much a part of his trademark. Nagib Karsan is a member of several art
societies and his work can be found in many collections throughout the
UK.
