Ahmed Nosseir's art work is inspired
from a deep experience of drawing and painting.
His work is a reflection of the various visual
sources which influenced him starting from when
he traveled to France. During the two years he
spent there, he explored the literature of
European and Western art. He was then driven to
move to Latin America where he spent ten years
in Argentina. There, he was absorbed by the
prominence of the Carnival arts where he
developed deep understanding of the Negroid art
and of the ancient civilizations art and
mythology. Nosseir came back to Egypt with a
wealth of experiences which shows in his unique
style of work. His images carry multiple hidden
signs and implications, his colors are full of
mystery, secrets, irony and sarcasm. The work of
Ahmed Nosseir embodies the conflict of the
contemporary human being and his existential
sufferings. He portrays our situation as people
living in an acute crisis which involves
everybody.
