He is not known to have a certain style in his work or art as he doesn’t like to stick to a certain technique or style. He deals with each project/character according to what he wants to express therefore he uses different methods in his art which could show a contrast between different pieces of his work. Read Less

Born in an artistic family, his dad was an artist and his mum is the sculptural Iman Ezzat. Art is a precious thing in his family, which made him like art and made his family support him further in this path. He gained a lot of knowledge from both of his parents as they took him while visiting any art event such as exhibitions or Cairo Gallery to see the artistic pieces of work whether photography, graphics, paintings or sculptures. “My dad raised me on freedom of expressing my opinions. Honestly I was raised in a golden period of Egyptian Caricature” says Ahmed. At that time his dad was working in a Caricature magazine as a portrait Artist. He used to go and visit his dad at work to watch him while working and learn from him. His dad worked with a crew, which included people who were enhanced richly with art knowledge; Mustafa Hussein, Hassan Hakeem and Hassan EL Fedawy who had a great impact on him. Hassan El Fedawy taught him how to be brave and that the wealth of an artist is practicing a lot and broadening ones horizon. He also taught him that Reading about several topics related to the field and watching a lot of work from different places and for different artist is a great value for an artist personal development.

After graduation, he worked with a group of people in a production company. The team included him, Ahmed Abdul Wares and Mohamed Tawfeek. He was the team leader( art-director ) , as he would tell them about the project, character description, biography and features of characters to be assessed. “We think about it really well and have an image in mind and then each person in the group draws some sketches and trials for the character design on their own”. After two hours they would gather again with their sketches and would combine the best results. Ahmed would take the perfect design, idea and choose the perfect sketches for specific parts in the body such as the arm. Further on, he would finalize the character to give it to another person who does the character sheet (someone more professional in the 3d sketch and could draw the character from different perspectives). His job was to manage the project and direct each part of the team to his work. It is very important for the artist to like his work and belong to it.

Later on the company closed and he worked as a free lancer for 2 years . He did some work for Maged, Noona and Basem Magazines. Those are all Arabian magazines for kids and teens.

Nowadays he works in Tarek Nour advertising agency. He has been working there for 4 years.

Ahmed is still not satisfied with his work and learns more everyday aiming to achieve the better, as he believes that an artist should always keep learning till death. Read Less
