Artist's Statement
I paint from the heart. My paintings are like my
children. Before I begin painting, I isolate myself for
a few moments of privacy while I visualize the completed
picture in my imagination. As I focus on the painting,
it begins to evolve. The most exciting moment occurs
when the painting starts taking on a life of its own.
That moment feels like a new baby coming to life. Out of
happiness, I want to hold this creation to my heart, as
it is a part of me. At that moment, I feel my spirit
become bright with light. Now that the painting is
completed, I feel a sense of relief, joy and separation
as a new mother does after giving birth.. I keep the
painting near me for a few days, as it brings a special
feeling of enjoyment to me. This process gives me much
happiness and inspires the energy needed to create
again. For me, as an artist, it is important to show the
feelings, emotions, and the reality of the Egyptian
people and society in which I am living. This is what
gives me the greatest satisfaction in my life.
