Marwan Bassiouni was born in Switzerland and is based in the Netherlands. He gained recognition for his photographic series 'New Dutch Views', which he developed over a year-long study of mosques across the country.

His work focuses on the visual dialogue between Islamic motifs and Dutch landscapes, often incorporating patterned walls and prayer rugs into the frame. The series presents deep-green fields, residential roads, and urban scenes as seen from mosque windows.

In 2026, Bassiouni's 'New Dutch Views' was the subject of a solo exhibition at Fotomuseum Den Haag, drawing attention from international art media such as Frieze.
