Rashid Diab (Arabic: راشد دياب‎, Wad Madani, Sudan, 1957) is a Sudanese painter, visual artist and art historian.[1]

Life and artistic career[]

Diab studied at the School of Fine and Applied Arts in Khartoum, from which he graduated in 1978 with honours.[2] Sponsored by a scholarship from the government of Spain, he continued his studies at the Complutense University of Madrid, and submitted his PhD thesis on the ‘Philosophy of Sudanese Art’ in 1991.[3]

Back in Khartum since 1999, Diab has been active as a painter, art teacher and director of his own artistic center.[4][5][6] His work has been widely exhibited and included in private collections.[7][8]

The Encyclopedia of African History describes Diab's colourful style as an exemplification of the generation of artists that followed Sudanese pioneers like Ibrahim El Salahi of the School of Khartoum and "developed a more universal aesthetic, that merges Western, African, and Islamic influences and expresses cultural identity in a global context."[9]
