Rashid Diab (Arabic: راشد دياب, Wad Madani, Sudan, 1957) is a Sudanese modern painter, visual artist and art historian.
After his return to Sudan, he founded his Dara Art Gallery and Rashid Diab Cultural Centre, where he organized numerous exhibitions and workshops.
[2] Sponsored by a scholarship from the government of Spain, he continued his studies the following year at the Complutense University of Madrid, where he obtained degrees both in painting and graphic arts.
"[11] His paintings of Sudanese women in colourful toubes surrounded by vast desert-like spaces have been described as images "suspended in absolute nothingness, without context or reference to any living thing.
[16] After Diab was forced to abandon his art center and personal collection by the outbreak of the war in Sudan on 15 April 2023, he managed to take refuge in the capital of Spain.
