Nagib Karson

Nagib Karsan was born in 1955 in Tanzania and spent his first years in Africa and at school in the UK.

Showing a love of art at an early age he followed a six-month course in Kenya before embarking on a varied career in business. However, during the late 1990’s he found time to rediscover his love of art and started to explore a wide diversity of mixed media and unusual techniques. His inspiration was 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.

He is a member of several art societies and his work can be found in various galleries and collections throughout the UK.
