A 31-year-old artist from Aswan, Ramadan Salah Baghdad, has taken it upon himself to use his painting skills to beautify the city's streets and public facilities. He has been transforming power transformers and walls into artistic paintings, adding beauty and joy to the places around him. His love for painting started when he was a child, and over time, it has evolved into a talent that he continues to develop.
Ramadan's recent works include painting a picture of Sheikh Muhammad Mutawali Al-Shaarawi on a power transformer in front of the Al-Mohammadi Mosque in the Kima area. He used his own resources to purchase the necessary materials and supplies, determined to leave a beautiful mark on the place and create a more beautiful scene around the mosque.
