Once qualified in welding, he started creating steel structures that were made from waste products from the steel industry, a recycled art form, gaining public and private commissions in the process.

Achieving considerable success, he was invited to take part in the 2nd Luxor International Painting Symposium sponsored by Egypt’s Ministry of Culture.

Using the recycled theme the sculpture entitled “Resurrection” uses the old pipes from the organ which had fallen into disrepair.
