Mutaz El Emam was born and raised in Kassala in the Eastern region of Sudan until he went to Khartoum to study Fine Arts at the Sudan University of Science and Technology. It took him three long months to finally convince his academically minded parents that in spite of his high grades at school, what he really wanted to study above all else was Art.
