For real.
I live in a folk district in Egypt, full of culture and people, I guess that what build my vision.
Every day I walk I see different people, a lot of them, I see crowds, but feel comfy.
I guess this is the main idea of collage work, lots of colors, images, wild and bold concepts.
I started doing digital collages 3 years ago, I loved doing this because it has no rules, I just collage images with artistic vision, making artworks with wild colors and surreal concepts, I feel free doing this, and I guess this kind of art has no boundaries, that what I love about the surreal and collage arts.
Doing art is great, but doing it for cause is greater, I believe that every artist is a prophet, I have a message to deliver, I have causes to fight for, so I started making collages for causes.
What makes me to go on doing anything is the people, seeing them facing wars, poverty makes me overthink and depressed, I try hard to turn these feelings into artworks, projects and work.
I see myself at 60s a film director, living In humble peaceful place, with a lot of cats and a lot of papers on my desk of causes I’m trying to take care about.
