Heba El-Kasar is an Egyptian artist and actress. She was born in Egypt and raised up in London - UK. Art, reading and writing were her passion from an early age. She received her Bachelors & MBA degrees from the American University in Cairo (AUC) and worked in the corporate banking field for 16 years.
To follow her artistic passion she quit and started practicing painting in all its forms 11 years ago and she further pursued her passion through learning Arabic Calligraphy. This is when she realized that incorporating both art and calligraphy took her to another spiritual and artistic level. Since then she participated in many local and international exhibitions.
Her passion for painting as a form of art led her 6 years ago to creating characters that she demonstrated in front of the camera. She realized that acting and writing is another form of art that she is passionate about and since then she started her career in acting and has performed in several Arabic series.
Heba is mostly concerned about delivering uniqueness in each piece of art she creates and delivers whether through painting, acting or writing.

The artist presents a dizzying, dreamlike encounter between multiple personas that seem to merge into a single emotional entity. The composition is anchored by large, soul-searching eyes and crimson lips, arranged in a way that suggests the faces are shifting and evolving in real-time.
The work is a masterclass in the psychological use of color. Searing magentas, electric teals, and sun-drenched yellows compete for space, yet they are held together by a strong undercurrent of graphic black-and-white patterns—stripes, stars, and floral motifs. The inclusion of whimsical, child-like symbols—such as a simple crown, a tiny house, and dancing stick-figures in the background—adds a narrative layer of memory or domesticity.
By deconstructing the human face into these expressive, fragmented planes, the artist captures the complexity of a relationship. It is not a portrait of how people look, but a portrait of how it feels to be profoundly entwined with another. The "no typography" constraint allows the viewer to focus entirely on the visual syntax of the symbols and the raw, expressive power of the brushstrokes. It is a loud, joyous, and deeply personal map of the human heart.
