Tamer Ragab Moussa Mohamed Among the mixture of thoughts he finds himself interested in the moving forces and their effects. The wind's impacting all that it faces, changing its physical appearance, led him to think and start the experiment of how such movement influences my sculpting. These effects begin to appear at the start of each sculpture only to find the piece in a contradictory state with the winds either it suddenly stops being impressed by it, or taking it's prisoner to its motion no matter how strong or big it is. The statue's stability on certain points ensures its ability to fly and move in a symmetrical way. Confirming the conflicting state with such invisible force using nature. Not to mention that human showing a mixture of emotions in addition to their mental state throughout the portrait, or using the strength of the bird facing the winds and it ability to impact it in spite of the birds ability to face the force, or using the abstract compositions using different materials such as Bronze, Marble & Granit to add an extra effect on the statue's visual

Marwa Magdy is a graduate from faculty of art education in Cairo 2016 , she is deeply impressed by the form of ANIMALS she said “We can consider the animals a connecting link between man and the earth; it is difficult for humans to relate directly with the natural elements, to understand them in terms of their importance as an ecosystem and therefore habitat that is home to us and asks us to be preserved. The animal, in fact, interacts with us in some way, it looks like we find ourselves in them, even in some places only certain gestures and behavior; it is easier for us to understand who we are and understand the issues of the land through animals. In my works the animals are metaphors of human existential complexity.” she is active at the contemporary Egyptian art movement both in exhibitions and symposium since the nineties.

Hossam Zaki’s collection is the manifestation of the intersection between the Artist’s imagination and his fascination with the Etruscan ancient history. Etruscan art was produced by the Etruscan civilization of ancient Italy between the 9th and 2nd centuries BC. It is an art direction that is particularly strong in this tradition were figurative sculpture in terracotta. The artist collection is influenced by the artist’s postgraduate studies in Etruscan sculpture. In parallel to his preoccupation with the ethereal fairy-tale likeness of dreams, where dreams can both demonstrate the good and the evil. Zaki was also intrigued by the idea that all humans, regardless of their character during the day, seem to rest in child-like peace during their sleep. The idea of dreams provided the artist with a rich visual reserve that was expressed through sleepy and dreamy figures that have childlike appearance. In a sense Zaki’s artwork is an expression of a mythical world produced by his dreamy imagination with hints from ancient history.
