Doctor Antony Kader El'Youghan, known simply as Youghon, has been an artist for over 30 years. His studies, qualifications, experience and reputation are exemplary. He started painting as a boy of 12 years of age taking ideas from nature and natural subjects.
He came to Australia originally settling in Sydney, where he quickly gained recognition. He has since held many exhibitions overseas - Munich, Damascus and Rome, to name just a few.
Youghon once said he is here to give Australia a new concept of Art. He believes all artists are communicators.
"Art must be looked at from all perspectives before it can be judged and it should never assault the eye", he says.
"Paintings must be relaxed. The more you look at them the more comforting and beautiful they should be."
