Marwa Fahmy

Marwa Fahmy is a multidisciplinary artist with over 10 years of experience. Growing up in the suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, as an Australian-Egyptian, Marwa had a unique upbringing within a traditional family. Being immersed in two cultures gave her valuable insights and inspired her artistic journey. 

Fahmy’s work is largely inspired by nature, culture, and narrative and by her observations of the world around her she has most recently been looking at belonging, what it means to her to different people and how to cultivate it. 

Fahmy's use of colour is electric using predominantly analogous colours with a touch of contrast to create visual interest. Her aim when creating public art specifically murals is to create work that will engage a large variety of people, look aesthetically pleasing, enhance the sight it's created in and create a conversation. She aims to create work that inspires and helps people to feel seen.

Some of Fahmy's notable achievements include participating in Sculpture by the Sea Cottesloe as part of the artist collective k.m.s.e, where the group won a $15,000 sculpture scholarship and exhibited at Sculpture by the Sea Bondi. Additionally, she has completed an $94,000 public art commission in the Museum Street Precinct in Perth, WA, and has undertaken various murals and ceramic installations across Victoria.
