"Weathered Hands" Charcoal on Paper Drawing 16" x 19" inch by Ahmed Saber

2008

Ahmed Saber is an Egyptian artist based in Luxor in Upper Egypt, where he received his BFA with honors in Graphic Design Printmaking from the south Valley University. His delicate watercolor paintings and woodcuts reveal harsh realities in the worlds he creates, and are heavy with symbolism. There’s an edge of political subversion, at times playful and humorous, and other times, dark and somber. His active participation in annual Youth Salons, and exhibiting all around Egypt, has earned him many awards to date. He currently teaches at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Luxor. I would like to drawing by dry materials such as hard pastel pencil charcoal and also drawing by water color and ink. "I follow Giorgio de Chirico and Carlo Carra way in metaphysical art work In my art work I use legendary symbols and metaphysical objects. My work have many details ... you see many objects crowded over."
