For years, I’ve been captivated by painted film posters that once adorned Arab cinemas—each one a stunning work of art that told a story beyond the screen. That passion led me to collect and curate Brushstrokes of Arab Cinema: A Century Unveiled—a book that celebrates the golden era of Arab film through its most vibrant and expressive medium.

This collection brings together 40 rare and beautifully preserved posters spanning a century of Arab cinema, many of which I’ve carefully restored and retouched to bring them back to life. Offering a glimpse into the artistic, cultural, and cinematic heritage of the Arab world, the book not only showcases these stunning visuals but also honours the artists behind these forgotten masterpieces and the films they represented.

Whether you're a film lover, an art enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of vintage design, I hope this book resonates with you as much as it has with me.
