Art is expression, an exclamation !
Discovering the depth of oneself, depicting it as a colourful labrynth of the soul. Art is a a medium for showing the intricacies of a persona, the momentary reality through the eyes of an artist.
Black
pen and red ink express fragments. Impressions; visual and audible.
Sound and shape resonate the Oriental world alive within me.
I faced change in a world that was stagnant. I saw movement, a heart beating on every street corner. The faces and shapes of Egypt are synonymous with inspiration.
My
desire is to express my feelings about a nation that has moved me, has
shaken the core of my soul. My hand moves on paper and with a few lines
I bring to life the men, women and children I see in the streets of my
mind, my Cairo, my Egypt! My Egypt inspires hope for the future while
remembering the intensity of the past.
I
re-create the beauty of what I have seen all of these years, notably the
recent strife; where the vast spectrum of human emotions were put
centre-stage. An explosion of life: resentment, tears, and laughter.
My exhibition is an expression of hope, hope for a better life waiting for us.
Paper
and ink have become my voice. The format is simple (a postcard), the
lines are pure (red and black ink), the feeling is strong. The
conversation is change, the message is HOPE!
