Khaled Zaki (b. 1964) is an international artist known for his sculptures and installations. Born in Suez, Egypt, his work draws on numerous influences, including ancient Egyptian statuary, Italian Renaissance sculpture, and the legacy of Egyptian modernism. He holds a Master’s degree in Restoration from the Faculty of Archaeology at Cairo University and studied Sculpture at the Al Khonany Museum of Art in Giza.
From 1988 to 1997, Zaki spent an extended period in Pietrasanta, a medieval town on the coast of northern Tuscany, known as the ‘City of Artists.’ He has participated in numerous global exhibitions and biennales, including representing the Egyptian Commission at the 55th International Venice Biennale in 2013.
