Showcase & Discover Creative Work

I was born in Egypt and have lived there my entire life. I was taught to appreciate beauty in everything I meet, and more importantly to discover where beauty lies in everything I experience.

After I graduated high school in 2003, I went to the American University in Cairo and started my studies in Computer Science. In 2007, I was almost done with my university studies, yet I decided to take a break and start a programming job. I took this decision because I had to evaluate my studies in a work atmosphere, in order to judge whether or not I am on the right track. After two years of work, I added design to my career rather than only writing code. In 2010, I went back to university and decided to change my field of study to Visual Arts instead of Computer Science.

The change of study was a community and cultural switch. In the new art community I met different people and discovered many new passions. Some of which are unveiling how people’s minds work and comparing the differences between cultures by looking at their studies, circumstances, and inherited traditions.

Just a passion that grows greater with time.

I have always denied the fact that being an artist means you can draw or paint. I believe it is the truth behind a feeling. It’s a matter of perception of the surrounding world. Beliefs, as well, are a large part of art. Being one of those who have the capability of using the heart to visualize what’s around is what makes interesting art. Truth is the secret.

I declare myself, hence, of being honest to my works. Having this bond between myself and what I claim to be my art is art. Choosing the media, following a structured methodology, and researching can make art with higher levels of professionalism and competitive to others. However, the fact still remains. Truth. Again, is the secret. Read Less
