He was appointed upon graduation as director of Anfoushy Cultural Palace in Alexandria and later moved to Paris as cultural attaché in charge of the Egyptian cultural center in Paris. He then held the prestigious position of handling the Egyptian academy of arts in Rome. Upon his return to Egypt, he was chosen as the Minister of Culture of Egypt to his retirement in 2011.
Hosny is well-known for his unique abstract style in art. His works were exhibited in the most important museums, exhibitions and art centers in the world where he was introduced by the most important art critics.  Through his use of abstraction, Hosny has transformed the eternal signs of his native country into restless, calligraphic gestures using vivid colors evocative of the Egyptian landscape.
