Discover the Artistic Vision of Galal Ramadan

Galal Ramadan is an award-winning, self-taught master of colored pencil art and an accomplished art educator based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Born in Alexandria, Egypt, as the eighth of eleven children, he grew up in a modest home where art was considered a luxury. Despite limited early exposure, he was always drawn to beauty—the colors of the sea, the textures of aged walls, and the expressive faces of everyday life.

After immigrating to the United States, Galal pursued a successful career in graphic design, marketing, and business before returning to his first passion: fine art. Today, he is best known for his hyper-realistic colored pencil portraits that reveal both technical brilliance and emotional depth. His landscapes and still life works further showcase his refined sense of design and composition.

His work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions both nationally and internationally, and highlighted in publications such as Colored Pencil Magazine, International Artist, and Artists to Watch. Galal is a Signature Member of the Colored Pencil Society of America (CPSA) and the UK Colored Pencil Society (UKCPS), an elected member of the American Artists Professional League, and a member of the International Guild of Realism, the Florida Artists Group, and the Arts Council of Hillsborough County, Florida.

Passionate about giving back, Galal teaches colored pencil classes and leads workshops throughout South Florida. This exhibition celebrates his extraordinary artistic gifts, his perseverance, and the cultural lens through which he sees and shares the world.
