The Summer Collection propagates the unique dual role that Safarkhan has
been working hard at for years which is continuously awaking forgotten
pioneer artist and discovering and introducing young contemporary
talents.
We strongly believe that the Modern Egyptian artistic scene sets the
stage for the contemporary platform currently in play. We cannot look at
current contemporary artists without honoring the role the forefathers
of the modern Egyptian artists played from beginning of the 20th Century
and even earlier.
We hope that you appreciate this artistic trip into memory lane coupled with the view to the future.
