Vision and philosophy

The faith in the specificity of the artistic experience and its connection to the place and its origins extends to all levels of indisputable premises. Hassan Kamel strives to extract the basic values ​​and principles in sculpture and all ancient Egyptian arts. This was reflected in his adoption of his simplistic approach and the exploitation of open and extended surfaces to express his ideas. He reaches the message and the desired expression through the smallest details and surface motions, and through his works he reads the interest in reconciling art with his free image as well as art in his relationship with the community in his field image, using local natural or single raw materials, Especially in the implementation of the general thought and vision of his work.
