Laila Ezzat (Arabic: ليلى عزت, romanized: Laïla Ezzat; born 1935)[1] is an Egyptian painter.[2] She has exhibited both nationally and internationally.
Ezzat is primarily a self-taught painter.[1] In the 1950s, Ezzat was mentored by Egyptian–Armenian painter Ashot Zorian.[3] In her early career she focused on paintings of animals (particularly horses), followed by work as an expressionist and later an abstract artist.[3][4][5]
Ezzat's artwork can be found in museum collections, including at the Museum of Modern Egyptian Art in Cairo.[1]
