I am constantly, in a high-and-low search for feelings for a new birth, feelings expressing me, and are expressed by me. Owning the metaphoric presence of signs, symbols, and elements constitutes the existentiality of my recollections, memory of locations and instances. These factors interact only to multiply, bind, and repel, massively, forming walls of paintings enclosing existence, holding ideological, constructive, and sociological dimensions related to the Egyptian cultural heritage. The Egyptian sociological, economic, and political variables blend and shape our new social reality on the walls, combining contradicting elements—dynamic and static, individuality and collectiveness, voluntariness and involuntariness. To me, reality and value, materialism and idealism, and other diverse social relationships represent a re-reading and re-formation of Egyptian life figures and styles. The philosophical and contemplative impressions document the conscious and unconscious sensations associated with the morphological image.
My drawing is always a further quest for innovated means of relating the thoughts and feelings, rendering them a visual life that connects to spectators arousing their own selves. My perpetual commitment to the formation of symbolic, spiritual, variable, and transformational visions surpasses diagnostic calibrations, supersedes mental and sensual interpretations to constitute a creative experience. Freedom is the stimulus that colors the visual, formational, and performance readings, summoning the elements to the walls. Freedom spurs the spiritual, sensual, and symbolic elements, driving a dialogue that leads the path for discovering new means for inspiring and reforming all inputs to create the scenery.
My quest represents an attempt to depict the social and cultural variables, always seeking the contemporary cultural and popular identity. It is one of my fundamental goals to express the Egyptian originality through an experimental search for elements of historic continuity, to embark on a search for means to convey the contemporary philosophical indications that outline the psychological constituents of the Egyptian identity. Through historic and cultural heritage the search extends, followed by an attempt to interrelate, converse, and communicate socially and culturally to introduce the conceptual model of the Egyptian contemporary society.
The controversial combination of traditional art and experimental spirit, past and present, renders a pursuit for visual and philosophical reading into my surroundings, individual and collective experiences. Individual analyses mainly represent the source that guides my start, and entry and exit signals that constitute the creative experience and the artwork.
