Since the dawn of the ancient Egyptian civilization, Egypt has been associated with the art of sculpture. We can see it clearly in the huge temples, the colossal statues, and even in the tiny amulets that they left for us. And even now, our Egyptian sculptors continue to amaze us with their creations. So let us have a look at some of our well established artists who are already thriving in their career and entertaining our minds and hearts with their art. Now we give you: Awesome Egyptian Sculptors You SHOULD Know About!

1-Sam Shendi

If you happened to be in the English city of Liverpool this year, and if you happened to pass by Liverpool Parish Church, I bet your eyes will be caught by the colorful figure lying there outside of the church. Well that’s Sam Shendi’s “Split Decision” sculpture, the winner of Liverpool Plinth competition 2019. Our internationally recognized Egyptian-English artist over here, truly creates art his own way. Especially in his recent works you find him combining colors, and hybrid shapes with a very rare sense of fun! Keep an eye on this gentleman.

2-Nevine Farghaly

Working mostly with scrap metal, she dives into our deepest childhood memories. Depicting our happy old times when things were much simpler. That is the magic of Nevine Farghaly’s works. With the joy embodied in her works, you feel as if her sculptures are smiling back at you inviting you to play with them. And representing these innocent feelings is hard enough, but to make these sculptures alive and dynamic, that’s whole different story.

3-Naguib Moein

A multi-disciplinary artist, whose style you can easily identify between hundreds of sculptures or paintings. That’s Naguib Moein’s art! As solemn, subtle and apparently calm they seem, as intriguing their vagueness and the mysterious feelings you get from them. The perforated, out of dimension bodies, combined with the dreaming faces they have, as if they were looking directly through you. They truly are from some magical realm we know nothing about. His works truly make our hearts feel Spirited Away…

Mastering the art of abstraction, and playing with the sense of balance and stability isn’t an easy job to do. Consequently, It needs an extremely artistic and sensitive eye and hand.  Ghorieb’s works definitely excel in doing so. Appearing simple and elegant, they return to the fundamental shapes of the world around us. And with not so many words, His works say a lot.

Art never dies, as long as there are people who dedicate their life to it. Those who bring up beauty in a world that is striving to survive through the endless loops of life. And those Egyptian sculptors are reminding us that this beauty lives inside us all, and shall never seize to exist.
