BIOGRAPHY :
Mourad Elloumi was born on June 27, 1961.

He is an International Artist Painter and Professor Emeritus of Plastic Arts.
He has been passionate about cinema, art and literature since a very young age. He regularly participates in cultural events and in particular in the training of young people in painting clubs.
In 1988 and after two short enriching experiences, one as artistic director of a publishing and press house and the other as head of his own communication box, he landed in the world of education and devoted himself to teaching fine arts in order to contribute to the development of freedom of expression and the creativity project at school. Thus he cultivates his passion for painting and realizes several individual and collective exhibitions in Tunis, Las Vegas, New York, Venice, Rome, Florence, Mantua, Los Angeles…
In 2020, after a rich artistic experience of more than 30 years with the presentation of hundreds of paintings through dozens of exhibitions around the world, he sees the need to revalorize art as an instrument of knowledge. Under the name of “sure-realism” he launches a new artistic concept to defend the possible coexistence of diversity and challenge globalization which affects the capacity for socialization of all existing cultures, he then publishes his artist’s book “The manifesto of new sure-realism – to Mix the Sensitive with the intelligible.
