Biography

Artist's Statement

 

Big Donkey:
The Donkey’s Dream
Mixed media on fiberglass
20,000LE (US$2,900.00)

I love the donkey. he is so strong with his thin legs and fast tiny steps…

sometimes when a donkey is standing in the street, waiting and having a rest, I feel, he is not really here – he is dreaming!…and I think these dreams are keeping his heart warm and help him to carry his heavy burden.

… and if mankind had no more dreams, this would be real poverty!

 

Small Donkey:
Protection
Mixed media on fiberglass
9,000LE (US$1,305.00)

As I live in a popular area, I am familiar with donkeys, always talking with some of them and many times I have pieces of apples and carrots in my pocket. I love the donkey, he is always friendly – and caressing his long soft velvet ears makes me feel so fine.

…in India I met a goat wearing a t-shirt…..and so I give to the little donkey my most colorful jacket. to protect him.

while speaking about little donkey I am thinking on children, mothers and fathers…
