Artist Statement Expressing myself with words was never my strength; I always believed in the power of visual impressions to deliver my ideas. During my final two years as a student at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Cairo, I suddenly felt trapped in how to do mixed media with drawing and printmaking. To connect the different material together, and always had the question on my mind how to use the technology in my art, Trying to escape that feeling, I first began experimenting with developing my technique using a computer with my art, gradually moving on to mix the computer with my art. I experimented with different materials as Robert Rauschenberg was my really art hero, as always searching for a more interesting surface to touch and feel we are in the 21st century.
When I discovered the way, my senses were enchanted. I was able to touch the details with my fingers. I no longer needed a pen to express myself and I began a new journey of artistic discovery with technology art. It set my mind and senses free to reconstruct something new and to break and rearrange its parts as quick as the ideas that jumped to my head. Using drawing and painting with the computer in my artwork awoke the child spirit in me and gave me a playful sense of joy.
In my earlier years of experimentation with drawing and painting, I mainly focused on documentations through doing Realistic works drawings I ranked number one in these classes that make me get a high rank of my Classmates, Later on, a new evolutionary period in my practice began. Then I start work on art projects after my art trips for art residency with artists are working on how to write an art project, then I start work on different projects with different material, I found in my path on writing before starting any artwork, and the ideas come from my writing might be from memory what I feel and what I can do, I was lucky in a young age 25 to represent Egypt at the Venice biennale 2015 I write the concept of the project under name can you see?! with my Colleagues And it was a hidden massage to discover the peace, the theme of the biennale was “all the future world”. And after the experiences I had in the biennale I start to think of I want to make different ideas could through it, Even though I had no idea what I would do with them at first, I was sure I would find a place for them in this world. I moved on to work on technology artwork that helped me to express my feelings faster as if creating preliminary sketches through a computer, an expression of the ideas and thoughts that spontaneously came to my mind.
My artwork is experimental and expression mental– it is mainly divided into projects, every project comes after some researches and in-depth examination of the subject matter giving each project its own concept, character, technique, and materials. The interaction between the project, the viewer and I become a priority when creating my installations in order to give the work a living spirit. I’m also working on experimenting with video art, painting and sculpture, exploring projects that could express aspects of my Artwork through movement and sound through visual solutions and language.
