Mohamed El Abd –
Nature is the main source of inspiration.
I use ceramics from nature to depict scenes, lines and abstract objects and try to find movement and life in things and rigid shapes
I participated in many events and art exhibitions inside and outside Egypt in the fields of contemporary ceramics, installation in space, and performance art, and I got many awards for my artwork
I also participated in the design and implementation of many decorations Egyptian films, dramas and theatrical performances.
MY STRENGHTS
Ambition
I'm passionate about what I do, and never do things half-heartedly.
Precision
I believe it's pointless to do something if you're not going to do it well.
Assertive
I'm not afraid to ask the difficult questions and have the difficult conversations.
During my graduate studies at The Faculty Applied Arts, Helwan University, Ceramic Department
I received appreciation from my professors regarding my artistic visions and notable works marking my special and genuine perspective. I am an Egyptian Ceramic artist and an Art Director in Cinema since 2005, and I work in the fields performing and visual arts as well.
I participated in many Theatre productions as a Director, Set Designer, and as an Actor. But, Working with Clay, is my real partner, best friend, and pleasure. I love this art and this magical earthy material “Clay”.
I have participated in numerous national and international artistic events in Ceramics and visual arts. To mention one, I was invited to show my work at the The 41th CICA international Bienniale of contemporary ceramics art . Alcora , Spain 2022.
I am awarded prizes and recognition in considerable artistic occasions from the Ministry of Culture in Egypt as well as other states. I was awarded The 59th Faenza Prize of the international competition of contemporary Ceramic art - Italy, in 2015.
