Artist's Statement
"Dreaming of the Road Ahead"
acrylic on canvas
7000 LE (US $ 1170)
sold
My interest in portraiture lies in the gap between the
persona that is presented in a pose or captured in a
snapshot, and the real person behind it… My portraits
are inspired from photographs that allow me to see
beyond the pose and create a narrative of my own.
Through an expression or a posture, I attempt to find a
universal human emotion or a drama specific to a
particular time or context. People are what the world is
about. Painting them is my way of trying to understand
the world we live in. The road ahead, lies in our
dreams… perchance in the dreams of those two intimate
strangers sleeping side by side in the Cairo metro.
