Protecting the Neighbor   sold

7000 LE (US$ 1275)

The neighbor has the right to be protected by his neighbor. The neighbor is always the nearest and fastest support. It is a mutual relationship, characterized by the love, friendship and neighborhood rights. Regardless of sex, color, origin or religion they are all Adam and Eve’s descendants; the Prophet Mohamed had said about a neighbor “Gabriel continued to recommend the neighbor until he almost asked me to consider him a successor”.

The painting is in a square shape describing the interdependence between neighbors. In the painting we see two girls; one of them is sheltering behind the other girl and they are holding hands. In the background we see an old man holding a cane and depending on a strong young man by holding his arm. The strength of expression in this painting is its parallelism.
